Salt
Chris LaRocca Lyrics

There's some miles on that mouth, been running
Your words have been around the block and back, they've been used and abused.

From the sidelines you look so stubborn
You appear unyielding and determined from a distance, but if I could get closer I'd see things differently.

Without a foot over the finish line
You haven't completed what you started, lacking the sense of accomplishment and closure that comes with success.

A couple years and it breezed like nothing
Time has slipped away too easily, too fast.

Now this seems so black and white
You're suddenly seeing things clearly and there's no middle ground.

Written on a picket sign
The message is not subtle, it's in your face and obvious.

Oh, I wish you wouldn't talk that way
Your words are hurtful and unnecessary, I'd rather not hear them.

Wish you never looked my way
I regret ever crossing paths with you, it's made my life more difficult.

I wish it was a best of three (Best of three)
I wish things were easier and there was a way to come out on top, to have a better chance.

Wish I wasn't shook this way
I hate feeling anxious and unsettled, it's not a good way to live.

I wish I didn't fall so deep (Fall so deep)
I wish I hadn't opened myself up to you so much, it's left me hurt and vulnerable.

Like some salt up in the wound
You're causing me even more pain and it hurts worse than before.

Like a child inside the womb (Stuck in)
I feel trapped and helpless like a fetus inside a womb, unable to escape the situation.

Stuck in my head beside you
I can't stop thinking about you and everything you've done.

I close my eyes, it's the perfect view
There are times when everything seems just right, even if it's all just a figment of my imagination.

Place it like a phone call
I can picture you so clearly, it's like I'm on the phone with you right now.

I got the goose bumpin'
My emotions are running high, my heart is racing, and my skin has erupted in goosebumps.

Drinkin' on my own
I'm alone, and I'm using alcohol to try and drown out everything else around me.

I close my eyes and forget about you
Sometimes the easiest thing to do is to shut everything down and try to forget about you altogether.

Pulled the rug from my feet so sudden
You caught me off guard and left me feeling bewildered and lost.

Left me waiting at the finish line
You abandoned me before I was able to cross the finish line, leaving me to endure all of the pain and suffering alone.

Half a cup and the view gets fuzzy
I'm losing my clarity and my grip on reality when I indulge in substances or other distractions.

Without a reason and some peace of mind (Mind)
It's difficult to make sense of everything that's happened and to find any sense of inner peace or calm.

I forget about you
Ultimately, it's better for me to let go and move on, so I can forget about you and all the pain you've caused.

I, you-ooh-ooh (Forget about you)
Eventually, I will find a way to forget about you, so I can live the life I deserve to have.

I forget about you, forget about you
It will take time and effort, but I will forget about you eventually.

(I forget about you)
Even though it's hard, I'll find a way to forget about you and all the hurt you've caused.
