Blood and salt
By Zatari

Another song. This time it's just about my best mate. Enjoy

Blood and salt

What is it I’m doing wrong, to take away your smile?
I hate it when you’re this upset, and I know it’s all my fault
I’m sorry I left you on your own, even for a while
It seems I’m opening up old wounds, mixing blood with salt


Chorus:

I can’t believe I’m doing this
Hurting you again and again
I promised never to cause you pain
This time I can’t lie to myself
What I did was wrong
Bet you’re wishing I never came along


Yes, dear, I’m hurting you, and I’m convincing myself
That I had reasons to do this to you again
There’s an evil voice inside my head that won’t stay on the shelf
It’s telling me that hurting you’s not so bad, as long as I’m still sane


Chorus


Cuts on your arms, scabs on your wrists
Can’t believe that I caused this
Cuts on your arms, scabs on your writs
Don’t you wish I didn’t exist?


Chorus


And I’m hurting you, to be with her
It’s wrong, I know, but I can’t help myself
But I still know it’s completely unfair
I didn’t want to hurt you again
