Salt In The Wound

Lyrics

You put salt in the wound
 And a kiss on my cheek
 You butter me up
 And you sit down to eat
 You add insult to injury
 You say you believe in me
 But you haven't decided
 About taking or leaving me
 ♪
 But you take and you take
 Like silks up my sleeve
 Tied corner to corner
 Never ending
 Trick after trick, I make the magic
 And you unrelentingly ask for the secret
 ♪
 Neck full of mockingbirds
 All calling your name
 I tried to sing it all back
 Like I heard it, it don't sound the same
 I'm gnashing my teeth
 Like a child of Cain
 If this is a prison, I'm willing to buy my own chain
 
 But you take and you take
 Like silks up my sleeve
 Tied corner to corner
 Never ending
 Trick after trick, I make the magic
 And you unrelentingly ask for the secret
 ♪
 They say the hearts and minds are on your side
 They say the finish line is in your sights
 What they don't say is what's on the other side
 They say the hearts and minds are on your side
 
 You put salt in the wound
 And a kiss on my cheek
 You butter me up
 And you sit down to eat
 You add insult to injury
 You say you believe in me
 But you haven't decided
 About taking or leaving me
 ♪
 But you take and you take
 Like silks up my sleeve
 Tied corner to corner
 Never ending
 Trick after trick, I make the magic
 And you unrelentingly ask for the secret
 ♪
 Neck full of mockingbirds
 All calling your name
 I tried to sing it all back
 Like I heard it, it don't sound the same
 I'm gnashing my teeth
 Like a child of Cain
 If this is a prison, I'm willing to buy my own chain
 
 But you take and you take
 Like silks up my sleeve
 Tied corner to corner
 Never ending
 Trick after trick, I make the magic
 And you unrelentingly ask for the secret
 ♪
 They say the hearts and minds are on your side
 They say the finish line is in your sights
 What they don't say is what's on the other side
 They say the hearts and minds are on your side
