Lyrics of Salt In the Wound by boygenius
verse
You put salt in the wound
And a kiss on my cheek
You butter me up
And you sit down to eat
verse
You add insult to injury
You say you believe in me
But you haven't decided
About taking or leaving me
chorus
But you take and you take
chorus
Like silks up my sleeve
chorus
Tied corner to corner
chorus
Never ending
chorus
Trick after trick, I make the magic
chorus
And you unrelentingly ask for the secret
verse
Neck full of mockingbirds
verse
All calling your name
verse
I tried to sing it all back
Like I heard it, it don't sound the same
verse
I'm gnashing my teeth
Like a child of Cain
verse
If this is a prison, I'm willing to buy my own chain
chorus
But you take and you take
chorus
Like silks up my sleeve
chorus
Tied corner to corner
chorus
Never ending
chorus
Trick after trick, I make the magic
chorus
And you unrelentingly ask for the secret
outro
They say the hearts and minds are on your side
outro
They say the finish line is in your sights
outro
What they don't say is what's on the other side
outro
They say the hearts and minds are on your side
Writer(s): Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus
