Salt in my wounds

Sat on the mattress and I listen to you
While you sat on the couch and poured salt in my wounds
As I looked you in the eye and I knew that you knew
I deserve to be alone , and I don’t deserve you..

You're the hard way out cause that's the way that I learn
It’s a dangerous game and we’re not timing our turns
It seems like every arguments, another scar that you burn
And if you put the fire out, you’d have to live with the burns

Do I wanna be right, or do I wanna be left?
Don’t think either one would fill this fucking void in my chest
Knowing you're not an object, you're a person, you're the best..
So why the fuck am I still interested in all the rest?

I need to rest and retire, not die out and expire
If I was a car, I’d just need a new tire
Not some jumper cables, not a battery
Cause I still can’t move if you're mad at me

I need a tire iron and a strategy
Cause you can’t fix a broken heart with flattery
I'm ashamed and in pain but I know that I deserve it
You always warned me of what could happen but I never heard it
You didn’t realize that I controlled your heart until I hurt it
You're so perfect I have no idea why I’m not deserted...

When you looked into my eyes, I saw through your disguise
You made the fire grow, you never felt so low
You thought it was the end, I don’t want to pretend
That everything’s okay, just to make it through a day

I told you I love you so, you told me that you know
So I gave you my heart, and you broke it all apart
I wish you had begone, to know that we are one
This connection is so strong. so please don’t do us wrong

I can’t let you go, so please forever know
That I do love you, It’s all I care for too
