Clean

[Verse 1]

The drought was the very worst

When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

It was months and months of back-and-forth

You still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore

Hung my head as I lost the war

And the sky turned black like a perfect storm

[Chorus]

Rain came pouring down

When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe

And by morning, gone was any trace of you

And I think I am finally clean

[Verse 2]

There was nothing left to do

When the butterflies turned to dust, they covered my whole room

So I punched a hole in the roof

Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you

The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud

But no one heard a thing

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Ten months sober, I must admit

Just because you clean don't mean you don't miss it

Ten months older, I won't give in

Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it

The drought was the very worst

When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

[Chorus]
