"Clean" lyrics

The drought was the very worst
When the flowers we'd grown together died of thirst
It was months and months of back-and-forth
You're still all over me like a wine-stained shirt I can't wear anymore

Hung my head as I lost the war
And the sky turned black like a perfect storm

And the rain came pouring down
When I was drownin', that's when I could finally breathe
And by mornin', gone was any trace of you
Think that I am finally clean

There was nothin' left to do
When the butterflies turned to dust, covering my room
So I punched a hole in the roof
Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you

The water filled my lungs and I screamed so loud
But nobody heard a thing

And the rain came pouring down
When I was drownin', that's when I could finally breathe
And by mornin', gone was any trace of you
Think that I am finally clean

Ten months sober, I must admit
Just because you're 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
Now I'm clean, not gonna risk it

The rain came pouring down
When I was drownin', that's when I could finally breathe
By morning, gone was any trace of you
I think that I am finally clean
It came pouring down
When I was drownin', that's when I could finally breathe
By mornin', gone was any trace of you
Gone was any trace of you

Oh-uh, gone was any trace, gone was any trace
Oh-ooh, uh, gone was any trace, gone was any trace
Uh, uh-huh. Gone was any trace, gone was any trace of you
Uh-huh
