Sugar, Salt, & Lime-否否
Okay, okay, I see the warning signs
A neon flicker, but I blur the lines
You show up sweet, then you disappear
And I convince myself the silence is sincere
I stir the cup, I stir it twice
Maybe this time it'll taste like nice
'Cause it starts with a tiny crack in the wall
Then I'm painting the whole room, ignoring the fall
I don't need another friend to tell me I'm wrong
'Cause I already know this song
I don't wanna pour another round
But my hand keeps moving before I make a sound
I don't wanna sip this bitter blend
But I keep on going back 'til the bitter end
(Sugar, salt, and lime)
But that's all I do
(Sugar, salt, and lime)
I keep running back to you
Yeah, I know the recipe by heart now
A little too much, not enough to bow out
You're the aftertaste that lingers on my tongue
A half‑sung verse from a song unsung
I could walk away, I could shut the door
But I've been here so many times before
So I add more sugar, I add more salt
Pretending the chemistry isn't my fault
Okay, okay, I hear the record skip
Same conversation, same frozen lip
You say"maybe someday," I say"that's fine"
Then I rewrite the ending in my mind all night
I stir the cup, I hold my breath
Convincing myself this isn't a death
'Cause it starts with a tiny crack in the wall
Then I'm painting the whole room, ignoring the fall
I don't need another friend to tell me I'm wrong
'Cause I already know this song
I don't wanna pour another round
But my hand keeps moving before I make a sound
I don't wanna sip this bitter blend
But I keep on going back 'til the bitter end
(Sugar, salt, and lime)
But that's all I do
(Sugar, salt, and lime)
I keep running back to you
Take away the text, take away the touch
Take away the"maybe"s that mean so much
Take away the memory of your half‑lit smile
What's left when I stay for a while?
I've been adding sugar to salt water for years…
And somehow, I still act surprised when it doesn't get sweeter.
I don't wanna pour another round…
But my hand keeps moving…
I don't wanna sip this bitter blend…
But I keep coming back, I keep coming back
(Sugar, salt, and lime)
Yeah, that's all I do
(Sugar, salt, and lime)
I keep running back to you
Mm, mm, mm…
Still stirring, still sipping…
Still here.
