lyrics

Never Be Clean
© 2021 Cindy Prince

I kept it hidden
My other life
My past was dark
I'd killed my wife
She'd tried to first
She wanted me dead
But I had finished
My God how she'd bled

I'd changed my name
Moved across states
Still I wonder at night
What'll be my fate
Because she tried
First to kill me
Is it somehow even
Or is it first degree?

Chorus
Clean, I can never be clean
Every night I still see the scene
Using that knife to end her life
It's a nightmare dream after dream

Sometimes at night
I dream that whole day
I question myself
Why didn't I walk away
But she was a danger
Was no longer sane
I remember washing
Blood off in the rain

Repeat chorus

I try hard to forget
But know that won't happen
It is my fate
And I am the captain
I try to do good now
Don't hate anyone
But I have no peace
It's never over and done

Repeat chorus
