I finally decided late last night I had to get some laundry off my mind The weight of the world on my shoulder So i told her What i worked so hard to hide It seemed like a good idea at the time Why does coming clean feel so dirty It all came out in the wash but i'm still filthy I thought no more nights of losing sleep But the guilt keeps eating away at me Why does it feel so dirty A million tears and just as many questions She wanted to know about every indiscretion She couldn't have been any colder Couldn't hold her Even though i tried and tried They say the truth will set you free That's a lieÂ... that's a lie I know that i can't unsay what i said It just all went so much better in my head Why does coming clean feel so dirty It all came out in the wash but i'm still filthy I thought no more nights of losing sleep But i toss and turn, i can't break free Why does it feel so dirty
