Clean Slate Lyrics

There's a pit in my stomach

One that never went away

I don't know where it came from

Well I do, but that's a story for another day

I wish I could say that you were the first

I wish I could say that I've never been hurt

But I can't and I won't

Not today

Once upon a time there was another

Who promised to be true

It's a story nearly older than time itself

But back then it sounded new

I wish I could say that it didn't end bad

It'd be kinda nice not to carry all that

But that's life and there's nothing I can do

How do I not let him ruin us for me

How do I set it all aside and let it be

I don't want another brokenhearted lesson

I've tried my best to learn from my mistakes

I just want a clean slate

You get me more than him

That's a fact I can't deny

I can tell your sincerity by the way you look into eyes

But I can't help but look for old patterns I knew

Even though you're not the same as him in anything you do

I'm still scared

It seems too good to be true

How do I not let him ruin us for me

How do I set it all aside and let it be

I don't want another brokenhearted lesson

I've tried my best to learn from my mistakes

I just want a clean slate
