Clean

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 its 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
