you removed my gloves, saw my hands were filthy, and without a just cause i already felt guilty, you gave me the soap, i scrubbed and scoured, i soaked in the bathtub for hours and hours. i said some things aren't all they seem, you said "i liked you better when you were clean". So you closed the door and left a letter, that read 'call me when yr feeling better', i threw it away and i unplugged my phone coz from now on i'm better off alone. Did you always act so mean or did you like me more when i was were clean? I brushed my teeth nine times today, I stood in the shower until my skin washed away, I went through my hair with a stainless steel comb, my skin is so clear you can see to my bones. But you still leave a smudge, every place you have been and say 'I liked you more, when you were clean'. Baby i am as glossy as a new magazine, but you still liked me better, when i was clean.
