Salt for a Wound That Won’t Heal

Salt for a Wound That Won’t Heal

They throw words like cheap towels on broken glass
Say “just get over it” and check their watch as they pass
Act like pain is a faucet you can just turn off
If I don’t smile, they give a nervous little cough.
It’s salt for a wound that won’t heal
Every “move on” is a dirty deal
All your comfort is a lie I can feel

It’s salt for a wound that won’t heal.
They don’t see the rot under daylight skin
Don’t count the nights I lose trying to win
They want the punchline, they skip the scars
Pretending the wreckage isn’t who we are.

It’s salt for a wound that won’t heal
Every “move on” is a dirty deal
All your comfort is a lie I can feel
It’s salt for a wound that won’t heal.
I stopped explaining, learned to shut my mouth
Every word you say just sends it further south.

It’s salt for a wound that won’t heal
Every “move on” is a dirty deal
All your comfort is a lie I can feel
It’s salt for a wound that won’t heal.
