Salt

Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
Darling, I've been slowly dying
It feels like I've been fighting in a war
And I don't know what the fuck I'm fighting for
Darling, you said forever's a fool's game
I played along and watched you make your bed
While somehow pretending this would never end
We were never meant to make it last
Take my heart and rip it out my chest
No matter what you think you got to do
Don't throw salt on the wound
Hope you're happy loving someone else
Even though you barely love yourself
So when you go and break my heart in two
Don't throw salt on the wound
Hotel lobby, that's where you left me
You said you need another night to think
So I took another night to pour a drink
I won't forget you, the heavens we've been to
Baby, we'll find a way to meet again
And then on the life we'll find a way to win, but
We were never meant to make it last
Take my heart and rip it out my chest
No matter what you think you got to do
Don't throw salt on the wound
Hope you're happy loving someone else
Even though you barely love yourself
So when you go and break my heart in two
Don't throw salt on the wound
Na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na
Oh, I know this love gave me this heart
There's no right or wrong way to do it baby
We were never meant to make it last
Take my heart and rip it out my chest
No matter what you think you got to do
Don't throw salt on the wound
Hope you're happy loving someone else (oh yeah)
Even though you barely love yourself (you barely love yourself)
So when you go and break my heart in two
Don't throw salt on the wound
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't
Aye
Ooh
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
