Salty Wounds

There ain't no sense in keeping it in
There ain't no way you can ever win
Be graceful with your loss and try to lick the salt out of your wounds
Follow your heart my dearest
Don't stop to measure the distance between us
It's a Quantum realm we're living in... meaning
We're always as close as we are far apart
I couldn't celebrate your new-found love
Overcome with shame and jealousy
When given a choice of who to believe
I chose my self-worth's enemies
When it was your turn I did the same
Defending free love to the teeth
Now every fear I own
Pulls it strings and humbles me
If one of us must suffer, let it be me
Even if I never get to see my sacrifices dawn on you
I always wanted to play the hero
'Cause that's what heroes do
If one of us must suffer, let it be you
I mean me
Someday I'm gonna get it right
There won't be nothing stopping me
Someday I'm gonna split the night
There won't be nothing in my way
Somehow I'm gonna get it right
Oh, some day
