[Verse 1]
Nightshade, a pretty flower
You drink the poison and we count the hours
You black out, holding my hand
I dream of letting go but I just can't

[Chorus]
Come clean, dark thing
You can breathe the air again and I’ll care again
Come clean, dark thing
Look up to the sky again and I’ll try again
Come clean, dark thing
You can breathe the air again

[Post-Chorus]
You can breathe the air again
You can breathe the air again
You can breathe the air again
And stop pretending

[Verse 2]
Dark sky, you're barely breathing
You’re still alive but you’re already grieving
A headstone, look at what you’ve become
You see the sadness at the center of everyone
[Chorus]
Come clean, dark thing
You can breathe the air again and you’ll care again
Come clean, dark thing
Look into the sky again and you’ll try again
Come clean, dark thing
You can breathe the air again

[Post-Chorus]
You can breathe the air again
You can breathe the air again
You can breathe the air again
And stop pretending

[Bridge]
How we sleep, how we lie
How we learn to say "goodbye"
You are safe here, you are right here
You could promise you could try
All your love, all your life
All your days of wasted time

[Chorus]
Come clean, dark thing
Come clean, dark thing
Come clean, dark thing
You can breathe the air again
[Post-Chorus]
You can breathe the air again
You can breathe the air again
You can breathe the air again
And stop pretending

[Outro]
If you say that you want me, too (you can breathe the air again)
If you say that you need me, too (you can breathe the air again)
If you say that you love me, too (you can breathe the air again and stop pretending)
If you say that you love me, too
If you say that you want me, too
If you say that you love me, too
If you say that you love me
