New Salt by Emily Weisband Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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' trying to cut out the cancer
But hearing your voice, yeah it's like you never killed me at all

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, you say it's 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

[Chorus]
Why are you so good
At making it hurt so bad?
Sending me spiraling
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?

[Verse 2]
Why do pretty words make it so hard to remember you’re selfish? Oh no, yeah
You don't really want to have me you just wanna know you could, oh no, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
The way that it stings, is so familiar
So many things, too familiar
Don't want to be stupid, yeah but

[Chorus]
Why are you so good
At making it hurt so bad?
Sending me spiraling
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?

[Bridge]
Now I'm falling asleep, thinking 'bout you
Like I forgot how to dream without you
I haven't done that in ages
[Chorus]
Why are you so good
At making it hurt so bad?
Sending me spiraling
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?

[Outro]
That 2AM call
Breaking down my, down my walls
That 2AM call
New salt
