I'm the salt in your sugar cane But it's not the taste that I blame It's not you or I Because we tried tried tried The more we change The more things stay the same Your eyes were red Mine painted black My thin blue dress Slid down my back You held me close and you cried cried cried Cause we both knew I wasn't coming back And maybe I have always been the one to say good-bye And I won't no lie, no, If I don't stick around You're not gonna die You're not gonna die She was sweet when you were down I hope what you need is just what you found You say you're fine, then you sigh sigh sigh So when I fuck around don't ask me why Maybe I have always been the one to say good-bye I won't lie, no, If I don't stick around You're not gonna die You're not gonna die Now you're here and your jeans are ripped A cigarette, between your lips But you don't smoke I guess now you do do do Cause what you want I just can't give to you Cause what you want I just can't give to you
