[Intro]
[whispered vocals] I let you in
You left your mark
Salt in my heart
Salt in my heart
[Verse 1]
You traced your name
In the dust on my old car window
Said "this won't fade"
But the rain came hard and cold
Now every storm
Brings your voice up through the floorboards
I slam the door
Still you're underneath my skin
[Chorus]
Love is a blade in my back
Twist it
Twist it
You say "forever" then you laugh
Kiss it
Kiss it
I keep holding on to hands
That let me fall apart
It hurts
It hurts
But I crave the salt in my heart
[Verse 2]
Our photos curled
On the fridge by the half-dead magnet
We burned that world
But the ashes live in my jacket
I wear the weight
Like a chain I begged you fasten
I curse your name
Then I scream it in the dark
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[female vocals
Low and aching]
You bleed for me
But you never let it heal
You need the sting
Just to know that I was real
You say it's love
When you chase another scar
But you can't stitch
What you keep tearing apart
[female vocals
Rising]
You keep the wound wide open
Just to feel me there
If you want to stop this spiral
You have to learn to care
For yourself
For yourself
[Chorus]
