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 run 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
