The Salt In My Tears Lyrics By 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 shoved me
    i see the woman i never saw

    i saw you laugh when the knife was twisted
    it still hurts but the pain has shifted
    i’m lookin’ back at the time that drifted by
    but i won’t cry for the wasted years
    ’cause 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 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
    ’cause you ain’t worth the salt in my tears

    i sit around and drink a few more beers
    until the memory just disappears
    ’cause you ain’t worth the salt in my tears

    i saw you laugh when the knife was twisted
    it still hurts but the pain has shifted
    i’m lookin’ back at the time that drifted by
    but i won’t cry for the wasted years
    ’cause you ain’t worth the salt in my tears

    ’cause you ain’t worth the salt in my tears
    ’cause you ain’t worth the salt in my tears
