lyrics

Tell me it's a lie / it's a lie and we're living it
Show me to the door / to the door let's be through with this
Baby you're the salt / you're the salt of the earth
My heart can't take it
Tell me all the ways / all the ways I punish you
I couldn't say a thing / say a thing if I wanted to
One look in your eyes / in your eyes is all I need
To know we're through
I'm finally through with you (I know)
I saw the way you lied
Dug your claws deep inside
You put this poison into me
I couldn't believe that it could happen to me
I couldn't believe until I saw the way you really are
Oh it's just the way you are
Tell me it's a game / just a game and you're winning it
Lecture me on faith, pearly gates, all that bullshit
Maybe you're a saint and I am just a sinner doomed to die-all alone
So tell me all the ways / all the ways I punish you
Tell me about the hell / about the hell I put you through
Baby you're the salt / you're the salt of the earth
My heart can't take it (I know)
I saw the way you lied
Dug your claws deep inside
You put this poison into me
I couldn't believe that it could happen to me
I couldn't believe until I saw the way you really are
Oh it's just the way you are
