Lyrics
Clean
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, yeah
I want you to stay the way you are, skinny legs and all
I know the time is coming when the boys will begin to call
I wish that I could hurt for you when you are learning how to fall
You are the reason that I'm alive today
You are the reason that I have changed my life in a wonderful way
I can see the passion that is growing inside of you
Oh, I can see the sadness that throws a shadow down on everything you do
I wish I was the man you thought I was back when life was new for you
You don't know what it's like to feel a love like this
You don't know what it's like to feel this kind of helplessness
You don't know what it's like to be weak
I hope you never know
I don't want you to be like me
I want you to be clean
Clean
Gonna find a reason to hate me someday
Gonna find a reason to push me away
You are gonna find reasons to blame me for your pain
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
I hope you never lose the magic that is big inside of you
I hope you never do the ridiculous things that I used to do
I hope you never know my disease
Oh, never being good enough
I don't want you to be like me, yeah
Yeah, I want you to be clean
Mmm, I want you to be clean
