The drought was the very worst

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

It was months and months of back and forth

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

You're still all over me

Like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore

Hung my head as I lost the war

And the sky turned black like a perfect storm

Rain came pouring down

When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe

And by morning

Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

There was nothing left to do

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

When the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room

So I punched a hole in the roof

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you

The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud

But no one heard a thing

Rain came pouring down

When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe

And by morning

Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I think I am finally clean

(Oh, oh) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

Said, I think I am finally clean

(Oh, oh) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

Ten months sober, I must admit

Just because you're clean, don't mean you don't miss it

Ten months older, I won't give in

Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it

The drought was the very worst

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

(Oh)

Rain came pouring down

When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe

And by morning

Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

Rain came pouring down

When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe

And by morning

Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

(Oh, oh) Finally clean

Think I'm finally clean (oh, oh)

Oh-oh, oh-oh

(Oh, oh, oh) Think I'm finally clean
