The Salt in My Tears
[Verse 1]
I've tried and I've tried for so long to please you
Gave you every bit of my time
Gave you everything I could possibly give you
My body, my heart, and my mind
I turned my family and good friends against me
Listened to my own heart break
And I did it all in the name of love
Gave up myself for your sake
[Chorus]
And you never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you are not worth the salt in my tears
[Verse 2]
You've cheated, you've lied and you've hurt me
Over and over again
You promised to love me forever
But forever reached a bitter sweet end
Been blinded by love to your actions
But at last I can see my way clear
I've cried and I've tried, and I've tried and I've cried
But you, you've never shed one tear
[Chorus]
And you never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you are not worth the salt in my tears
[Verse 3]
You are not worth, you are not worth the salt in my tears
Treated like dirt, I'm hurt, I am not hanging around here
You've left me crying, left me crying for years
But you are not worth the salt in my tears
[Chorus]
And you never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you are not worth the salt in my tears
