Clean Lyrics

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 am 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
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

You are going to find a reason to hate me someday
You are going to find a reason to push me away
You are going to find reasons to blame me for your pain
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
Never being good enough

I don't want you to be like me
I want you to be clean
I want you to be clean
