"Salt" lyrics

"Salt"

I can still feel the salt, on my old skin
From the seaside where I lived
All of those miles, you'd get the train
To see your girl, to see her face

And we felt so young, we didn't ask
For anything else, I was like the sun
On your pale skin
When we were dancing in the wind

And I thought I loved you, for a minute there
Then I found, I loved you 'til the bitter end

Breaking it down, we loved to argue
When you were tired, when I was doubting
That you'd ever move those same old mountains
For me

Now I sit alone
Just how it was written
And now I know we're better off
Ridden from the curse of loving the people
That we're not

But I thought I loved you, for a minute there
Then I found, I loved you 'til the bitter end

And so much can change
When you're young enough to run away
Thought you'd hesitate
Like all those times before
And so much can change
When you're young enough to run away
Don't you hesitate
'Cause looking back is
So much harder when

I thought I loved you, for a minute there
Then I found, I loved you 'til the bitter end
When I thought I loved you, for a minute there
Then I found, I loved you 'til the bitter end

The bitter end, the bitter end
The bitter end, the bitter end
