Day 4: "You Make Sugar Taste Like Salt"

This song was inspired by a friend's beautiful comment "You make salt taste like sugar". I reversed the meaning and had a lot of fun writing this song.

Enjoy:

You Make Sugar Taste Like Salt by Matt Ramsey

Lyrics:

"Sometimes I sit and wonder
Exactly just how long
This sun will take before it's gone

And when you say "I love you"
I can't help but feel the same
Though it's never felt so wrong

Give me some of that bitter love
You make sugar taste like salt

When you're down, I'm up
It always my fault

Maybe if you kill me
It'll be enough

Take a brick and smash
All of the windows in my heart
Every day's a brand new start

And when I think of all the looks
You've given me
I can't help but feel I've been beat

Give me some of that bitter love
You make sugar taste like salt

When you're down I'm up
It's always my fault

Maybe if you kill me
It'll be enough

So take another look before my heart's
Shot down in flames
In my head you're playing games

Give me some of that bitter love
You make sugar taste like salt

When you're down, I'm up
It's always my fault

Maybe if you kill me
It'll be enough"
