"Salty Words" lyrics

The bricks in the floor make your boots sound so loud
And you keep your head down like you're carryin' a cloud
Of remorse and pity and doubt, but you act so proud
Of your vows, when there's nothin' to them
And it's still a wonder how we ever met
But it's not that I'll ever have any regret
Oh, I don't know how hard this is gonna get
I guess nobody ever said it was easy

And I don't know what to do
Oh, I don't know what to say
When you're at this way, that's a game I'm not about to play
Oh, I don't know what to say

And speaking salty words won't do it any good
'Cause so much between us is misunderstood
The words don't make a sound
To anyone who's falling, now fall down

And it's too bad you're not the busted and broken screen
Yeah, money has a way of destroying those things
It's time you step away and look inside your ring of friends
And stand outside the scene
If it remains a challenge for you to catch my drift
Well, I'm afraid the fog from your eyes is gonna be too heavy to lift
Oh, I thought you had a gift, yeah, I thought you had a gift
But I was wrong

And I don't know what to do
No, I don't know what to say
When you're at this way, that's a game I'm not about to play
Oh, I don't know what to say

And speaking salty words won't do it any good
'Cause so much between us is misunderstood
The words don't make a sound
To anyone who's falling, now fall down
