Salty Words

The bricks in the floor make your boots sound so loud And you keep your head down like you're carryin' a cloud Of remorse and pity and doubt, but you act so proud Of your vows, when there's nothin' to them And it's still a wonder how we ever met But it's not that I'll ever have any regret Oh, I don't know how hard this is gonna get I guess nobody ever said it was easy And I don't know what to do Oh, I don't know what to say When you're at this way, that's a game I'm not about to play Oh, I don't know what to say And speaking salty words won't do it any good 'Cause so much between us is misunderstood The words don't make a sound To anyone who's falling, now fall down And it's too bad you're not the busted and broken screen Yeah, money has a way of destroying those things It's time you step away and look inside your ring of friends And stand outside the scene If it remains a challenge for you to catch my drift Well, I'm afraid the fog from your eyes is gonna be too heavy to lift Oh, I thought you had a gift, yeah, I thought you had a gift But I was wrong And I don't know what to do No, I don't know what to say When you're at this way, that's a game I'm not about to play Oh, I don't know what to say And speaking salty words won't do it any good 'Cause so much between us is misunderstood The words don't make a sound To anyone who's falling, now fall down
