Salt In My Wounds
With speed of light, my tender heart dropped
Stitches burst open, my repairs unlocked
Wasn't something I could avoid, nothing I could stop
Neither was the handful of salt tossed on top
I had truly been feeling a little more at ease
Until I stumbled upon something I wasn't meant to see
Put to rest, painful memories unfolded before me
My wound reopened and started to bleed
Two hometown visits and two family meets
Again, jumping in with both silly, wet feet
Shacking up might be next, wouldn't that be sweet ??
After last year's brutal sh*t show, I ain't having a repeat
Nope, won't be seeing this girl's face with a pout
She's been hurt more than enough, that is no doubt
Onwards and upwards, that's what I'm talking about
And one day, he'll realize what he's been left without
