Lyrics for I Should Live in Salt

Don't make me read your mind You should know me better than that It takes me too much time You should know me better than that You're not that much like me You should know me better than that We have different enemies You should know me better than that I should leave it alone but you're not right I should leave it alone but you're not right Can't you write it on the wall? You should know me better than that There's no room to write it all You should know me better than that Can you turn the TV down? You should know me better than that There's too much crying in the sound I should know you better than that I should leave it alone but you're not right I should leave it alone but you're not right I should live in salt for leaving you behind Behind Think about something so much You should know me better than that Start to slide out of touch You should know me better than that Tell yourself it's only noise You should know me better than that Learn to appreciate the void You should know me better than that I should live in salt for leaving you behind Behind I should live in salt for leaving you behind Behind I should live in salt for leaving you behind Behind
