Lyrics

[Intro]
Why my lips taste salty, so salty
Why my lips taste salty, so salty
[Verse 1]
You told me we'd have time
That nothing would divide us
Hiding in the sky, knew it was a lie
But I loved the liar too much
Remember back in Prague?
You held me really tight there
How can anything this great just fade
And turn into a nightmare?
[PreChorus]
I'm feeling like a fool
Don't know what to do
I don't have a clue
[Chorus]
Now I got your wilted flower standing on my shelf
Make me think about that you're with someone else
As the leaves fall down I promise to myself
I'll be stronger but I wonder
Why my lips taste salty, so salty
Why my lips taste salty, so salty
Why my lips taste salty, so salty
Why my lips taste salty, so salty
[Verse 2]
You're stuck like a complex hit melody, you're repeating
Don't wanna know why you're leaving
If you don't call I'll be grieving, can't believe it
I don't wanna wait for the healing
Jealous of the air you're breathing
I don't wanna feel the feeling anymore
[PreChorus]
'Cause I'm feeling like a fool
Don't know what to do
I don't have a clue
[Chorus]
Now I got your wilted flower standing on my shelf
Make me think about that you're with someone else
As the leaves fall down I promise to myself
I'll be stronger but I wonder
Why my lips taste salty, so salty
Why my lips taste salty, so salty
Why my lips taste salty, so salty (Wilted flower standing on my shelf)
Why my lips taste salty, so salty
[Bridge]
As my mother taught her daughter, mm
Flowers can't grow in salty water
Why my lips taste salty, so salty
Why my lips taste salty, so salty
Why my lips taste salty, so salty
Why my lips taste salty, so salty
[Outro]
Now I got your wilted flower standing on my shelf (Why my lips taste salty, so salty)
Make me think about that you're with someone else (Why my lips taste salty, so salty)
As the leaves fall down I promise to myself (Why my lips taste salty, so salty)
I'll be stronger but I wonder (Why my lips taste salty, so salty)
Why my lips taste salty
