Salt

I've tried to be your nourishment

But we starve

I've tried to be your confidant

Through my flaws

I've tried to make us leisure class

But we're poor

I've tried to be your resistance

Yet how easily we fall



To breathe from the inside

The salt of the ocean

The waves are transparent

Strands of emotion



I've tried to be your paramour

But I'm cold

I've tried to be so nonchalant

But I'm bold

I've tried to be the savoir fare

You don't need

I've tried to take your breath away

Yet how easily you breathe



To breathe from the inside

The salt of the ocean

The waves are transparent

Strands of emotion

You can't say I've never tried to love you

You can't say I've never tried to die for you
