  • The drought was the very worst, ah-ah, ah-ah
    When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
    It was months, and months of back and forth, ah-ah, ah-ah
    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

    The 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

    There was nothing left to do, ah-ah, ah-ah
    When the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room
    So I punched a hole in the roof, ah-ah, ah-ah
    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

    The 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

    I think I am finally clean
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Said I think I am finally clean
    Ah-ah-ah

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

    The 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
    The 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

    Finally clean
    Think I'm finally clean
    Ah-ah-ah-ah
    Think I'm finally clean Writer/s: Imogen Heap, Taylor Swift
