歌詞

Your version was cleaner

Because I was not in it

You made the ending softer

By cutting out the bruise

You folded the story

Till it fit in your mouth

Made every hard edge

Turn easy somehow

You left out the trembling

The floor under me

The part where your calm

Made it harder to breathe

Everyone heard it

And nodded along

A lighter account

Of what you did wrong

Your version was cleaner

Because I was not in it

You made the ending softer

By cutting out the bruise

Your version was cleaner

So easy to hold

Mine had the weight

You refused to show

You gave them a reason

That sounded like peace

A small misremembered

Uneven thing

I stood in the mess

You polished away

Watching my damage

Get edited clean

Clean enough

Small enough

Easy now

Gone enough

Softened down

Folded flat

Less to say

Less to take back

Your version was cleaner

Because I was not in it

You made the ending softer

By cutting out the bruise

Your version was cleaner

But I still know

The shape of the truth

Before you made it glow

Your version was cleaner

Because I was not in it

Pretty enough to believe

Empty enough to forgive

You can keep the clean one

I know where it thins

The story looks lighter

When I am not in it
