Give yourself a little competition
I can see it flarinâ?? up in your eyes.
Give yourself a moment to remember
All the trailing looses ends youâ??ve left behind.
And I keep on a wondering
How the odds around you are kept so high.
And give yourself a little competition
Itâ??s the only thing thatâ??ll get you by.

Keep the wound salted,
Itâ??s what youâ??ve always wanted.
Keep the wound saltedâ??

Suddenly Iâ??ve lost communication
And you swear that itâ??s all a mistake.
But you must really like the situation
Coz the clean break you wanted is now in your face.
She looked at you, then at the room,
Then at the state sheâ??s been living in.
But suddenly I reel in to position
Itâ??s the news you held so highly paid.

Keep the wound salted,
Itâ??s what youâ??ve always wanted.
Keep the wound saltedâ??
Just say goodbye, donâ??t look backâ??whoa!

Give us all a little more emotion
We can see it wellinâ?? up in your eyes
We can see your ferns getting thicker
As youâ??re showing the signs of compromise
But donâ??t go running back when you realize that
Nobodyâ??s buying into your lies.
And give yourself a little more opinion
Coz we know youâ??ll never choose to rectify.

Keep the wound salted,
Itâ??s what youâ??ve always wanted.
Keep the wound saltedâ??
Just say goodbye, donâ??t look back!
