New Salt

If I wasn't lonely in a hotel room, I wouldn't have answered
If you weren't drunk on the West Coast, you wouldn't have called
I've put in a lot of time and cryin', tryna cut out the cancer
But hearing your voice, yeah, it's like you never killed me at all

Ah-ah, you say it was just like a movie
Do you remember the things you did to me?
'Cause I remember
And just for a second those days were better
But I know bettеr

Why are you so good
At making it hurt so bad?
Sending me spiralling
Right back down a brokеn road
Saying things you should've said years ago
Making it burn
So excuse me if I'm mad
Coming in lying, making it sound like the truth
Ain't it just like you
Putting new salt in an old wound?

Why do pretty words make it so hard
To remember you're selfish? Oh no, yeah
You don't really wanna have me
You just wanna know that you could, oh no, yeah

The way that it stings is so familiar
So many things, too familiar
Don't wanna be stupid, yeah, but

Why are you so good
At making it hurt so bad?
Sending me spiralling
Right back down a broken road
Saying things you should've said years ago
Making it burn
So excuse me if I'm mad
Coming in lying, making it sound like the truth
Ain't it just like you
Putting new salt in an old wound?

Now I'm falling asleep, thinking 'bout you
Like I forgot how to dream without you
I haven't done that in ages

Why are you so good
At making it hurt so bad?
Sending me spiralling
Right back down a broken road
Saying things you should've said years ago
Making it burn
So excuse me if I'm mad
Coming in lying, making it sound like the truth
Ain't it just like you
Putting new salt in an old wound?

That 2 a.m. call
Breaking down my, down my walls
That 2 a.m. call
New salt
