Coming Clean

Coming Clean Lyrics

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

Chorus

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
