Lyrics
Wash Me Clean
by Tammy Jann
2020
I was sketched on paper
so white and so clean
a drawing with purity
you colored me in
with red pencil lead
drew in a heart that bled
passed around the sheet
for others to draw
rendering me with more flaws
chorus
toss me into the river's flow
let me go
pure water flowing in the stream
wash me clean
dissolve the hurt they bestowed
let me go
no one should be coloring me
wash me clean
I made it to land
found by new hands
who gave the drawing back to me
I colored it in
with white pencil lead
but there were remnants from the red
I really don't think
I'll ever be clean
but I still seek purity
chorus
toss me into the river's flow
let me go
pure water flowing in the stream
wash me clean
dissolve the hurt they bestowed
let me go
no one should be coloring me
wash me clean
Bridge
If all I can be
is this drawing of me
I will take on a new design
add patterns of hope into my mind
chorus
toss me into the river's flow
let me go
pure water flowing in the stream
wash me clean
dissolve the hurt they bestowed
let me go
no one should be coloring me
wash me clean
outro
wash me clean, wash me clean
no one should be coloring me
wash me clean
