Píseň: Clean Breaks

Interpret:
Dashboard Confessional
Album:
The Shade of Poison Trees
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"
