Pour me a tall glass
To drown out my regret
Brace for the impact
Of these familiar secrets
Love's an addiction
Only leaving ruin
Loathe the infliction
Of pain from luring you in
Oh I tried to make the sacrifice
And escape from the toxic high we seem to crave
But nothing's enough to suffice
And desire's a drug that always captivates
And I'll be the first to take the blame
But let me go so I can finally be freed
Need to run from this vertigo
I need to be clean
There's an empty room
In which you will find me
Hard not to assume
Everyone is guilty
For we all just try to fill our holes
Someone to bring sweet relief to our selfish souls
The old prescription that we're told
'Infatuated freedom will keep us going'
And I bought into the sale
And shattered hearts with swallowed truths and hopes regaled
I can't long for blissful release
I need to be clean
Need to be clean
I need to be clean
Need to be clean
Forgive me; I've been so lost
Forgive me; I've been so lost
Forgive him; he's been so lost
Forgive us; we've been so lost
