Everybody hands me time like it's a cure Like the hole gets holy if I just endure But the day it stops hurting is the day you're really gone So I keep the edges open and I drag the morning on Don't you sew me shut, don't you call it grace I won't trade the ache to forget your face So salt the wound, keep it raw, keep it true The pain's the last thing left that's still attached to you I won't heal if healing means I let you go So salt the wound and let it show I'd rather bleed than not remember you at all They want a tidy ending where I rise and I'm restored Smile through the eulogy and don't bring it up no more But a scar that closes clean is just a way to lie So I'll wear it like an open mouth that never says goodbye Don't you sew me shut, don't you call it grace I won't trade the ache to forget your face So salt the wound, keep it raw, keep it true The pain's the last thing left that's still attached to you I won't heal if healing means I let you go So salt the wound and let it show I'd rather bleed than not remember you at all Call it self-destruction, call it holding on They look the same from here when everything is gone So salt the wound, keep it raw, keep it true The pain's the last thing left that's still attached to you I won't heal if healing means I let you go So salt the wound and let it show I'd rather bleed than not remember you at all Salt the wound Let it show
