Come Clean Lyrics
Not the way you planned it
You didn't mean to happen
Could have been anyone
You should stop do what you started
Say goodbye and dearly parted
You're right back where you came from
Come clean when lines get blurry
Come clean when the dawn gets dirty
Holding your breath
When you just wanna scream
At some point we all have to
Come clean
Promises get broken
Details go unspoken
I never say too much
Spend too much time thinking
And the weeks lead up to leaving
Summer's gonna get crushed
Come clean when lines get blurry
Come clean when the dawn gets dirty
Holding your breath
When you just wanna scream
At some point we all have to
Forgive the regrets
When it comes, let it pass
Let the first rain of the season
Wash away our past
I know, I know that we can
Come clean
When the lines get blurry
Come clean
When the dawn gets dirty
It's easy to see,
Now that you can breathe
At some point we all have to
Come clean
When lines get blurry
Come clean when the dawn gets dirty
Holding your breath
When you just wanna scream
At some point we all have to
At some point we all have to
Come clean, come clean.
You didn't mean to happen
Could have been anyone
You should stop do what you started
Say goodbye and dearly parted
You're right back where you came from
Come clean when the dawn gets dirty
Holding your breath
When you just wanna scream
At some point we all have to
Come clean
Details go unspoken
I never say too much
Spend too much time thinking
And the weeks lead up to leaving
Summer's gonna get crushed
Come clean when the dawn gets dirty
Holding your breath
When you just wanna scream
At some point we all have to
Forgive the regrets
When it comes, let it pass
Let the first rain of the season
Wash away our past
I know, I know that we can
When the lines get blurry
Come clean
When the dawn gets dirty
It's easy to see,
Now that you can breathe
At some point we all have to
When lines get blurry
Come clean when the dawn gets dirty
Holding your breath
When you just wanna scream
At some point we all have to
At some point we all have to
Come clean, come clean.

This is what Tristan said about Come Clean in Ok magazine Interview;
“Come Clean” is a favorite. It's about doing a friend wrong, and feeling extremely guilty about it. How could I be capable of these actions? How could I let this even happen? After months of apologizing, and that apology not being accepted, I realized that I needed to own my mistake, swallow it, accept it and forgive myself.
I like this song cause it reminds me that I am not perfect. And I love the whole visual that the chorus creates: Coming clean when the lines get blurry, dirty... holding your breath, when you wanna scream...etc... Greg Wells (my producer) really brought it to life on the record.
