The Salt In My Tears - Dolly Parton

I’ve tried and I’ve tried for so long to please you

Gave you every bit of my time

Gave you everything I could possibly give you

My body, my heart, and my mind

I turned my family and good friends against me

Listened to my own heart break

And I did it all in the name of love

Gave up myself for your sake

And you never cared about me

You only hurt and deceive

I realize after all of these years

That you are not worth the salt in my tears

You’ve cheated, you’ve lied and you’ve hurt me

Over and over again

You promised to love me forever

But forever reached a bitter sweet end

Been blinded by love to your actions

But at last I can see my way clear

I’ve cried and I’ve tried, and I’ve tried and I’ve cried

But you, you’ve never shed one tear

And you never cared about me

You only hurt and deceive

I realize after all of these years

That you are not worth the salt in my tears

You are not worth, you are not worth the salt in my tears

Treated like dirt, I’m hurt, I am not hanging around here

You’ve left me crying, left me crying for years

But you are not worth the salt in my tears

And you never cared about me

You only hurt and deceive

I realize after all of these years

That you are not worth the salt in my tears
