Lori McKenna - Salt Lyrics
I pay for my roomAnd i try to forget itIt’ll kill me I knewThe memory, if I let itHearts don’t fly but they can run like hell when we have toI didn’t leave you a noteI didn’t leave you a photoI didn’t leave you a chanceBut I left you, I guess you knowYou’re wondering now how long it’ll take before I start missing youBut you ain’t worth the timeYou ain’t worth the painYou ain’t worth the spit in my mouth when I scream out your nameYou ain’t worth the life they hand out in a town this smallYou ain’t worth the sound of the TV from the room down the hallOr my weight in saltSix years of cryinThat’s all that you gave meNot one more thingNot even a babyWe were close one time but i guess God is smarter than I amYou broke every promiseYou broke every whisperYou broke every vow the moment you kissed herAnd you never thought twiceYou never gave a damnBut you ain’t worth the timeYou ain’t worth the painYou ain’t worth the spit in my mouth when I scream out your nameYou ain’t worth the life they hand out in a town this smallYou ain’t worth the sound of the TV from the room down the hallOr my weight in saltAll of the saltGathered from tearsCarefully collected from journals and prayersIt’d take you a month of Sundays to lift with a spoonTo pour on the woundBut you ain’t worth the timeYou ain’t worth the painYou ain’t worth the spit in my mouth when I scream out your nameYou ain’t worth the cost to repair the hole in the kitchen drywallYou ain’t worth the good advice written on a dirty bathroom stallOr my weight in salt
