Lori Mckenna Salt Lyrics

(Verse)
Happy for my room
And try to forget it
You kill me, I know,
The memory, I let it.

Hearts don’t fly,
But they can run like hell when they have to.

Didn’t leave you a note,
I didn’t leave you a photo,
I didn’t leave you a chance,
But I left you, I guess you know
You’re wondering now how long it takes
For I start missing you.

(Chorus)
Cause you ain’t worth the time,
You ain’t worth the pain,
You ain’t worth the spit in my mouth
When I scream out your name.

You ain’t worth the life,
They hand out in the town this small
You ain’t worth the sound of the TV
From the room down the hall.
On my waiting salt.

(Verse)
Six years of crying,
That’s all that you gave me,
Not one more thing,
Not even a baby.
We will close one time,
But I guess God is smarter than him.

You broke every promise,
You broke every whisper
You broke any other moment,
You kissed her and you never thought twice,
You never gave a damn.

(Chorus)
Cause you ain’t worth the time, You ain’t worth the pain,
You ain’t worth the spit in my mouth
When I scream out your name.

You ain’t worth the life,
They hand out in the town this small
You ain’t worth the sound of the TV
Coming from the room down the hall.
On my waiting salt.

(Bridge)
All of the salt gathered from the seas
Can be collected from journals and prayers
It take you a month but someday’s still lived with a spoon.
To pour on you.

(Chorus)
Cause you ain’t worth the time,
You ain’t worth the pain,
You ain’t worth the spit in my mouth
When I scream out your name.

You ain’t worth the cost to repair
The hole in the kitchen dried warm.
You ain’t worth the good advice
Written on a dirty bathroom stall.
Boy, am I waiting salt, salt
My waiting salt.

(Verse)
I paid for my room
I try to forget it.
It kill me, I know,
The memory, if I let it.
Hearts don’t fly,
But they can run like hell if they have to.
