And we all carry a burden
Like a word that hurts the most
But I do my best to let it go
And if you pull back on the curtain
Look into my soul
You'll see that all I wanted was a home
Is that too much to ask?
I hear you calling from the other side
Begging me to get down in the dirt
'Cause that's the only way to come clean
And if we make it to the other side
Finally, then we get down in the dirt
'Cause that's the only way to come clean
We all drink our poison
Whatever form it takes
We build our home in this den of snakes
And if we cast off all our burden
Our fears and our mistakes
Oh, it wouldn't mean a think
'Cause we only learn the hard way, baby
We only learn the hard way, don't we, dear?
And I hear you calling from the other side
Begging me to get down in the dirt
'Cause that's the only way to come clean
And if we make it to the other side
Finally, and we get down in the dirt
'Cause that's the only way to come clean
Maybe I'm not as clever as I thought I was
And I should forget the dreams I had when I was young
There's just something I could never give up
I'll never give, I'll never give
'Cause I hear you calling from the other side
Begging me to get down in the dirt
'Cause that's the only way to come clean
I hear you calling from the other side
Begging me to get down in the dirt
'Cause that's the only way to come clean
And if we make it to the other side
Finally, and we get down in the dirt
'Cause that's the only way to come clean
