Coming Clean

I finally decided late last night

I had to get some laundry off my mind

The weight of the world on my shoulder

So I told her

What I worked so hard to hide

It seemed like a good idea at the time

Why does coming clean feel so dirty

It all came out in the wash but I'm still filthy

I thought no more nights of losing sleep

But the guilt keeps eating away at me

Why does it feel so dirty

Coming clean

A million tears and just as many questions

She wanted to know about every indiscretion

She couldn't have been any colder

Couldn't hold her

Even though I tried and tried

They say the truth will set you free

That's a lie, that's a lie

Why does coming clean feel so dirty

It all came out in the wash but I'm still filthy

I thought no more nights of losing sleep

But the guilt keeps eating away at me

Why does it feel so dirty

Coming clean

I know that I can't unsay what I said

It just all went so much better in my head

Why does coming clean feel so dirty

It all came out in the wash but I'm still filthy

I thought no more nights of losing sleep

But I toss and turn, I can't break free

Why does it feel so dirty

Coming clean
