“Salt” is the fifth track on singer-songwriter Trella’s debut EP Vapor. The name of the song is taken from the idiom “rubbing salt in the wound”. She posted the original handwritten lyrics on her Instagram:
[Verse 1]
It's always been you
The one my heart would slowly come back to
The one who made my heart so cool
Could melt it too
Your song was my tune
We played it mad, we played it true
Till we got tired of being fools
Oh, we are fools
[Chorus]
And I don't want to throw salt in your wounds
In my wounded heart
But I see you on my worst days
Praying that you would feel the same
[Verse 2]
I'm seeing you there
With glassy eyes and messy hair
I'm feeling like you always cared
You're always there
[Chorus]
And I don't want to throw salt in your wounds
In my wounded heart
But I see you on my worst days
Praying that you would feel the same
And I don't want to throw salt in your wounds
In my wounded heart
But I see you on my worst days
Praying that you would feel the same
[Bridge]
I don’t wanna find you in my sleep, in my dreams anymore
I’m undone, on the run, I’m givin’ up
I don’t wanna find you in my sleep, in my dreams anymore
I’m undone, on the run, I’m givin’ up
Givin’ up
Don’t wanna find you in my sleep, in my dreams anymore
I’m undone, on the run, I’m givin’ up
I’m givin’ up, oh
[Chorus]
And I don't want to throw salt in your wounds
In my wounded heart
But I see you on my worst days
Praying that you would feel the same
And I don't want to throw salt in your wounds
In my wounded heart
But I see you on my worst days
Praying that you would feel the same
