Your voice was a soundtrack to August But you turned 180 and 90 degrees And honey it's been a lonely autumn Empty space in bed with me Dirty dishes in the sink Dirty talkin' up 'til three You became my favorite thing Now I see You're the white stains spilled on my t-shirt Like a scratch on a brand-new car You're the first to say those three words Did you know they'd break my heart? How'd you make "I love you" feel like such a filthy thing? Wanna wash the memory out How do I get clean? Everyone's asking me what happened I tell them they know the same as me I guess there's no beauty in disaster (disaster) But if that's what keeps you close to me Tell me Dirty dishes in the sink Dirty talkin' up 'til three You became my favorite thing Now I see You're the white stains spilled on my t-shirt Like a scratch on a brand-new car You're the first to say those three words Did you know they'd break my heart? How'd you make "I love you" feel like such a filthy thing? Wanna wash the memory out How do I get clean? Now I make a game of forgetting your name While tryin' to erase the feeling But I can't escape the hell that I chase I just wanna be clean of you You're the white stains spilled on my t-shirt Like a scratch on a brand-new car You're the first to say those three words Did you know they'd break my heart? How'd you make "I love you" feel like such a filthy thing? Wanna wash the memory out How do I get clean?
