Clean - Taylor Swift

Album: 1989

genre: Pop

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’re 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

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

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

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

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

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
The drought was the very worst
When the flowers that we’d grown together died of thirst

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
