DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL LYRICS - Clean Breaks

"Clean Breaks"



I believe in clean breaks, I keep the old troubles away



But you're making sure

I was lying when I said



"I can leave,

This behind"



I need you to ruin me

For this, finally,

'Cause it's burying me



Now, I'm in these old knots

Each move keeps me locked away



With each new embrace,

I have tied myself up.



More tightly,

Into you



Oh, but the more I fight

Then the deeper I'm trapped

And I can't break free of this hold that you have



And I crave you more

Under the heat of your touch

And I need your skin



To ruin me

For this wicked town

Where your ghosts are bound

To me



One last sacrifice

Of this ritual escape



I was lying when I said...

"I believe,

in clean breaks"
