Salt in My Tears

by Martin Briley

v.1
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
An I won't cry for the wasted years
Cause you ain't worth the salt in my tears

v.2
Feelin' neglected, used and rejected
You need a shoulder to lean upon
Baby you 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 the 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

Instr. Brk.

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

I'll sit around and drink a few more beers
Til the memory just disappears
Cause you ain't worth the salt in my tears
