Salty Words

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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
