[Intro]
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm

[Verse 1]
Darlin', I've been slowly dyin'
It feels like I've been fightin' in a war
And I don't know what the fuck I'm fightin' for
Darlin', you said, "Forever's a fool's game"
I played along and watched you make your bed
While somehow pretendin' this would never end

[Chorus]
We were never meant to make it last
Take my heart and rip it out my chest
No matter what you think you got to do
Don't throw salt on the wound
Hope you're happy lovin' someone else
Even though you barely love yourself
So when you go and break my heart in two
Don't throw salt on the wound

[Verse 2]
Hotel valet, that's where you left me
You said you need another night to think
So I took another night to pour a drink
I won't forget you, the heavens we've been to
Baby, we'll find a way to meet again
In another life we'll find a way to win, but

[Chorus]
We were never meant to make it last
Take my heart and rip it out my chest
No matter what you think you got to do
Don't throw salt on the wound
Hope you're happy lovin' someone else
Even though you barely love yourself
So when you go and break my heart in two
Don't throw salt on the wound

[Bridge]
Na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na
Oh, I know this love gave me this heart
There's no right or wrong way to do it baby

[Chorus]
We were never meant to make it last
Take my heart and rip it out my chest
No matter what you think you got to do
Don't throw salt on the wound
Hope you're happy lovin' someone else (oh yeah)
Even though you barely love yourself (you barely love yourself)
So when you go and break my heart in two
Don't throw salt on the wound

[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't
Aye
Ooh
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
