THE SALT IN MY TEARS

Martin Briley



I never did it

No I won't admit it

Why should I lie for you anymore

You never loved me

You pushed and you shoved me

I ee the woman I never saw

I saw you laugh when the knife was twisted

It still hurts but the pain has shifted

I'm looking back at the time that drifted by

But I won't cry for the wasted years

'Cos you ain't worth the salt in my tears



Feeling neglected

Used and rejected

You need a shoulder to lean upon

Maybe you've picked him

Found your next victim

Don't worry someone will come along

I broke the spell that you kept me under

I'd had enough of the rain and thunder

I lost track of the time and I wonder why

But I won't cry for the wasted years

'Cos you ain't worth the salt in my tears



I'll sit around and drink a few more beers

Until the memory just disappears

'Cos you ain't worth the salt in my tears
