I Should Live in Salt

1. Don't make me read your mind
   You should know me better than that
   It takes me too much time
   You should know me better than that
   You're not that much like me
   You should know me better than that
   We have different enemies
   You should know me better than that

R: I should leave it alone but you're not right
   I should leave it alone but you're not right

2. Can't you write it on the wall?
   You should know me better than that
   There's no room to write it all
   You should know me better than that
   Can you turn the TV down?
   You should know me better than that
   There's too much crying in the sound
   I should know you better than that

R: I should leave it...

   I should live in salt for leaving you behind

3. Think about something so much
   You should know me better than that
   Start to slide out of touch
   You should know me better than that
   Tell yourself it's all you know
   You should know me better than that
   Learn to appreciate the void
   You should know me better than that

R: I should live in salt for leaving you behind
   I should live in salt for leaving you behind
   I should live in salt for leaving you behind
