Come Clean Lyrics

“Come Clean” is a song about remembering the past, about how sometimes when you hurt the people you love, it can be nearly impossible to make amends, especially when you’re young. One interpretation is that… Read More [Intro]The image of youThe thought burns right throughA flaw in an otherwise perfect crimeIt's funny how the things I care aboutAre damaged but the unimportant things are fine[Verse 1]14 Herbert Street, two thousand and tenI was eighteenI couldn't keep my fucking story straightI pushed you all awayBut the street lights on Mayne, they still flickerEven though we're never there to see[Verse 2]I always wanted to call but I had nothing to sayAnd you seemed better off since you moved awayI can't say I don't miss the companyOf such a better example of me[Chorus 1]I know I had you all concernedBut I've changed now, I'm betterAnd I got just what I deservedPersistence, respect is a processYou might also like[Verse 3]Torn between another bullshit apologyOr blaming everything I said on a broken self-esteemDodge the burden, evade the blameOr suck it up and just come cleanI'll never be the same againAnd all I have to thank is me[Pre-Chorus]Is there anything I can sayTo bring back the old days?[Chorus 2]I know I had you all concernedBut I've changed now, I'm betterAnd I got just what I deservedPersistence, respect is a processI've been obsessing over bridges burnedThough it's over, it lingersSo tell the others when it works for youI miss you and life's a little longer nowEmbedCancel

How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

AboutSong Bio1 contributor

“Come Clean” is a song about remembering the past, about how sometimes when you hurt the people you love, it can be nearly impossible to make amends, especially when you’re young.

One interpretation is that this song is specifically about John Floreani’s Brother. His solo project was originally called Little Brother, although he renamed it to his own name before the release of the 2019 EP sin, which also featured a track about his brother, called, “Oh Brother”.
