salt

Lyrics

i pay for my room, and i try to forget it, it'll kill me i knew, the memory, if i let it, hearts don't fly but they can run like hell when we have to, i didn't leave you a note, i didn't leave you a photo, i didn't leave you a chance, but i left you, i guess you know, you're wondering now how long it'll take before i start missing you, but you ain't worth the time, you ain't worth the pain, you ain't worth the spit in my mouth when i scream out your name, you ain't worth the life they hand out in a town this small, you ain't worth the sound of the tv from the room down the hall, or my weight in salt, six years of cryin, that's all that you gave me, not one more thing, not even a baby, we were close one time but i guess god is smarter than i am, you broke every promise, you broke every whisper, you broke every vow the moment you kissed her, and you never thought twice, you never gave a damn, but you ain't worth the time, you ain't worth the pain, you ain't worth the spit in my mouth when i scream out your name, you ain't worth the life they hand out in a town this small, you ain't worth the sound of the tv from the room down the hall, or my weight in salt, all of the salt, gathered from tears, carefully collected from journals and prayers, it'd take you a month of sundays to lift with a spoon, to pour on the wound, but you ain't worth the time, you ain't worth the pain, you ain't worth the spit in my mouth when i scream out your name, you ain't worth the cost to repair the hole in the kitchen drywall, you ain't worth the good advice written on a dirty bathroom stall, or my weight in salt
