Heartbreak, and how to heal from it

lyrics

SALT IN MY WOUNDS LYRICS & MELODY: Y. GAGNON 2011 / MUSIC: G. CARDINAL ©2011

AS MUCH AS I TRY MAKING YOU FADE AWAY
I’M STILL BENT OUT OF SHAPE HERE AS I LAY
I WANT YOU LEAVING MY MIND, HEART AND SOUL
SO I CAN JUST STOP DIGGING ME A HOLE.
SO MANY QUESTIONS YOU LEFT UNANSWERED
TEARS FALLING FOR YOU MAKE IT ALL BLURRED.

I LIE AWAKE WITH LEFTOVER SALT IN MY WOUNDS
WON’T YOU COME AND WASH IT OFF NOW THAT’S ENOUGH
I LIE AWAKE WITH LEFTOVER SALT IN MY WOUNDS
YOU PUT IT THERE, RUBBED IT IN, NOW IT’S TOO TOUGH


MY HEAD’S SPINNING TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF IT
BREAKING INTO A SWEAT LIKE FALLING INTO A PIT
AM I STILL ON YOUR MIND THE WAY YOU ARE ON MINE
HOW CAN YOU PRETEND WE WILL BOTH BE FINE
I HAD SAVED MY HEART FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU
MUSIC WAS SURVIVAL, BUT I MET MY WATERLOO

IT’S SINKING MY SHIP, NOW I’M STUCK IN THE MUD
I’M WAITING FOR A LIFELINE BURIED IN SEA SUDS
I FEEL LIKE THIS STORYLINE’S FROM A SOAP OPERA
IMPOSSIBLE UNBELIEVABLE FICTIONAL DRAMA
I HEARD YOUR PAIN, I READ YOUR EXPLANATIONS
BUT I STILL THINK IT’S ALL ABERRATIONS

I LIE AWAKE WITH LEFTOVER SALT IN MY WOUNDS
WON’T YOU COME AND WASH IT OFF NOW THAT’S ENOUGH
I LIE AWAKE WITH LEFTOVER SALT IN MY WOUNDS
YOU PUT IT THERE, RUBBED IT IN, NOW IT’S TOO TOUGH

BRIDGE:
YOU CHOSE TO LEAVE, I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU COULD
IT AIN’T FOR BETTER FOR SURE, BUT IT’S FOR GOOD
I REALIZED SEA SALT CAN CURE ALL MY ILLS
WHEN I JUMPED IN THE CUBA SEA OVER THE HILLS
FELT BETTER WITH GIO, NUCAY AND THE EMCEE
IN A SPAN OF A WEEK THEY REALLY UNSCARRED ME
CRASHING WAVES WASHED AWAY ALL THAT YOU SAID
I’M STRONG AND NEVER AGAIN HANGING BY A THREAD

I LIE ASLEEP WITH NO MORE SALT IN MY WOUNDS
DON’T YOU COME AND WAKE ME UP, YOU’VE DONE ENOUGH
I LIE ASLEEP WITH NO MORE SALT IN MY WOUNDS
I’M STAYING HERE, ALL TUCKED IN, OH I’VE HAD ENOUGH

I LIE ASLEEP WITH NO MORE SALT IN MY WOUNDS
DON’T YOU COME AND WAKE ME UP, YOU’VE DONE ENOUGH
I LIE ASLEEP WITH NO MORE SALT IN MY WOUNDS
I’M STAYING HERE, ALL TUCKED IN, OH I’VE HAD ENOUGH
I’VE HAD ENOUGH, I’VE HAD ENOUGH, I’VE HAD ENOUGH
