Give yourself a little competition

I can see it flarin up in your eyes.

Give yourself a moment to remember

All the trailing looses ends youve left behind.

And I keep on a wondering

How the odds around you are kept so high.

And give yourself a little competition

Its the only thing thatll get you by.



Keep the wound salted,

Its what youve always wanted.

Keep the wound salted



Suddenly Ive lost communication

And you swear that its all a mistake.

But you must really like the situation

Coz the clean break you wanted is now in your face.

She looked at you, then at the room,

Then at the state shes been living in.

But suddenly I reel in to position

Its the news you held so highly paid.



Keep the wound salted,

Its what youve always wanted.

Keep the wound salted

Just say goodbye, dont look backwhoa!



Give us all a little more emotion

We can see it wellin up in your eyes

We can see your ferns getting thicker

As youre showing the signs of compromise

But dont go running back when you realize that

Nobodys buying into your lies.

And give yourself a little more opinion

Coz we know youll never choose to rectify.



Keep the wound salted,

Its what youve always wanted.

Keep the wound salted

Just say goodbye, dont look back!
