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 looking 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.
Baby, 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 your 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'll 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 looking 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.
