Sweet and Salt

I drank both sweet and salt

You gave up your body

The sweetness of your love

Left a scar upon my heart

The darkest of all kisses felt so right

My lips can still remember the salt of your sea

If only I had known that you were making light

Ay, the misery

The best is what I had with you

At least that's what I thought

I was but a lie

You never opened up your heart

Your kisses only hid the truth from me

While I kept falling more and more in love

You knew that in your arms

I lost all reason and all rhyme

The passion you aroused in me

Made this sinners sublime

Heartache lay ahead, I couldn't see

You called a name out loud, it wasn't me

Now bittersweet the taste of sweet and salt is mine

Ay, you stole my heart so cruelly

All I have to savor is the sweetness and the salt

Of the memory of a love that couldn't be

The best is what I had with you

At least that's what I thought

I was but a lie

You never opened up your heart

Your kisses only hid the truth from me

While I kept falling more and more in love

You knew that in your arms

I lost all reason and all rhyme

The passion you aroused in me

Made this sinners sublime

Heartache lay ahead, I couldn't see

You called a name out loud, it wasn't me

Now bittersweet the taste of sweet and salt is mine

Ay, you stole my heart so cruelly

All I have to savor is the sweetness and the salt

Of the memory of a love that couldn't be

I drank both sweet and salt

You gave up your body

The sweetness of your love

Left a scar upon my heart
