Sugar Turned to Salt Verse 1 I poured my heart into an empty cup, Kept filling yours while mine dried up. You’d tell me stories ‘bout women who walked away, I swore I’d be the one who’d always stay. I wore loyalty like a second skin, Believed love could fix what was broken within. You kept dropping red flags at my feet, I stepped right over ’em… Thinking tomorrow would finally choose me. Pre-Chorus I waited by a phone that forgot my name, Sent prayers to the stars hoping you’d do the same. How’d I keep believing When the truth kept slipping through? Chorus How’d something so sweet turn into something I couldn’t swallow? How’d forever disappear before tomorrow? Sugar turned to salt… Every promise lost its taste. Every kiss became another tear upon my face. You were my greatest lesson ever learned, A fire I survived instead of getting burned. You didn’t break this heart… You just showed me who I are— When the sugar turned to salt. Verse 2 I wasn’t asking for diamonds or a perfect life, Just honesty and a place beside your side. But every silence spoke louder than your words, Every excuse cut deeper than it first hurt. I watched other people disrespect my name, While you stood quiet… Like my love was just another game. Still I gave you chances, Because that’s who I’ve always been. Until loving you Started costing me myself again. Pre-Chorus I spent too many nights staring into the sky, Wondering if my love would ever reach your eyes. Now I know… Peace should never come with this much pain. Chorus How’d something so sweet turn into something I couldn’t swallow? How’d forever disappear before tomorrow? Sugar turned to salt… Every promise lost its taste. Every kiss became another tear upon my face. You were my greatest lesson ever learned, A fire I survived instead of getting burned. You didn’t break this heart… You just showed me who I are— When the sugar turned to salt. Bridge I don’t hate you… I just finally chose me. I loved the man I believed you could become, But I can’t keep waiting For someone who’s still running. You taught me exactly what love should never feel like. You taught me exactly what peace should never cost. And for that… Thank you. Final Chorus How’d something so sweet turn into something I couldn’t swallow? Now I know some endings become tomorrow. Sugar turned to salt… But I found the strength I lost. You were only part of my story— Not the author of my heart. I know what I’m looking for now… And you ain’t it. You didn’t destroy me… You introduced me To the woman I’d become without you. When the sugar… Turned to salt. Outro I thought I lost the love of my life… Turns out… I found myself.
