Clean Break Lyrics

You could have gone so loud

With a holler and pout

Could have slammed the door

Could have called me out

You could have danced all night

Till you had to go

You could have held me before

You left me out in the cold

You thought you'd make a clean break

No letters to leave and no goodbyes to say

You thought you'd make a clean break

Didn't you, babe

You could have gone so sweet

Could have said some things

Little eulogy

For the love that stings

Could have made believe

Could have told me true

What I did wrong

Or what I couldn't be to you

You thought you'd make a clean break

Your eyes on the road and your mind off the ache

You thought you'd make a clean break

Didn't you, babe

But you went and left

A goddamn mess in your wake

Wondering weighs heavy on a lonesome heart

I'm rattling these chains

Can you hear them from afar

You could make me free

You could cut me loose

You could deal an ace

To this hand of blues

You could shine a little light

On this darkest mine

Or maybe some night you'll pull over

And drop me a line
