Everclear - Clean lyrics

I want you to stay the way you are Skinny legs and all I know the time is coming When the boys will begin to call I wish that I could hurt for you When you are learning how to fall You are the reason that I'm alive today You are the reason that I've changed my life In a wonderful way I can see the pa**ion That is growing inside of you I can see the sadness That throws a shadow down on everything you do I wish I was the man you thought I was Back when life was new for you You don't know what it's like To feel a love like this You don't know what it's like To feel this kind of helplessness You don't know what it's like to be weak I hope you never know I don't want you to be like me I want you to be clean, clean Gonna find a reason to hate me someday Gonna find a reason to push me away You are gonna find reasons To blame me for your pain I hope you never lose the magic That is big inside of you I hope you never do The ridiculous things that I used to do I hope you never know my disease Never being good enough I don't want you to be like me Yeah, I want you to be clean I want you to be clean
