SALT (feat. Oli Sykes)

You clean your teeth before you bite

Why is it me you have to spite?

I gave in, my flag's white

And suddenly, you're so contrite

I used to draw hearts 'round your name

Now I just draw blood to face another day

(Without you by my side to pull my heart)

And you know I'm not one to make a scene

(The bitter taste of kerosene)

But I'd burn alive to see you scream

Pouring salt in my cuts

Tears make up my blood now

Twist the knife in my gut

To break all my trust

I thought the worst was over

Thought you held me like a lover

Star-crossed in the middle of summer

Torn apart like the paper that I draw on

Never thought we'd be so self-serving

Breaking me down to nothing

Pouring salt in my cuts

Tears make up my blood now

Twist the knife in my gut

To break all my trust

You pull the same thing every night

Why do we still have to fight?

I gave up, my flag's white

Just to pretend we're alright

Pouring salt in my cuts

(Is this what we really want?)

Tears make up my blood now

(All I know is it's not my fault)

Twist the knife in my gut

(Didn't think you'd kick me this hard)

To break all my trust

Drained all the blood from my heart
