clean (emlyn’s version)

[Verse 1]

The drought was the very worst (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

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

It was months and months of back and forth (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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 drownin', that's when I could finally breathe

And by mornin', gone was any trace of you

I think I am finally clean

[Verse 2]

There was nothin' left to do (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

When the butterflies turned to dust that covеred my whole room

So I punched a holе in the roof (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you

[Pre-Chorus]

The water filled my lungs

I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing

[Chorus]

Rain came pourin' down

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

And by mornin', gone was any trace of you

I think I am finally clean

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, I think I am finally clean

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

I think I am finally clean

Ah-ah-ah

[Bridge]

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

[Break]

The drought was the very worst, ah-ah, ah-ah

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

[Chorus]

Rain came pourin' down

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

And by mornin', gone was any trace of you

I think I am finally clean

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, I think I am finally clean

Ah-ah, ah-ah

I think I am finally clean

[Outro]

The drought was the very worst, ah-ah, ah-ah

Now the space I used to feel with you it doesn't hurt
