"Clean" lyrics - RYAN ADAMS

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

The rain came pouring down
When I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning
Gone was any trace of you
I think that I am finally clean

There was nothing left to do
When the butterflies turned to dust
Covered my whole room
So I punched a hole in the roof
Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you

Water filled my lungs and I screamed
So loud but nobody heard a thing

And the rain came pouring down
When I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning
Gone was any trace of you
I 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 never gonna risk it

Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
By morning
Gone was any trace of you
I think that I am finally clean

Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
By morning
Gone was any trace of you, gone was any trace of you

Gone was any trace of you, gone was any trace of you
Gone was any trace, gone was any trace
Gone was any trace, gone was any trace
Gone was any trace of you, gone was any trace of you
