Clean
Maude Latour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Okay, my room is such a mess, but I swear I tried my best
Just to clear my head while my life′s blowing up
I think I heard it from your friends, you found someone new
They say she's so great for you

I can′t respond to all my texts, I leave everyone on read
I'm so glad I'm on my own, I′m so sick of love
I haven′t really been alone in 18 months
It feels so good, but if you ever wanna unblock me, please do

I, I've been staying hydrated
′Cause heartbreak's kinda overrated
Sleeping early, not going out late like I used to do with you

I′m even tryna keep my room clean
Every day, I make my bed just to get you out my head
And I'm even wearing sunscreen
30 SPF, yeah, ever since you left
I′m just tryna keep my room clean
Yeah, I'm tryna keep my room clean

I think I'm getting pretty good, I avoid your neighborhood
I focus on myself, who I want to be
The world is so much more insane than I ever knew
I see things clearly without you

I, I′ve been staying hydrated
′Cause heartbreak's kinda overrated
I think I′m starting to feel the love that I used to reserve for you

I'm even tryna keep my room clean
Every day, I make my bed just to get you out my head
And I′m even wearing sunscreen
30 SPF, yeah, ever since you left
I'm just tryna keep my room clean
Yeah, I′m tryna keep my room clean

Not really sure if I found the love of my life yet
There's not a single lover that I regret
I'm pretty sad that we couldn′t stay friends
But I guess I get it, babe, you′re trying to forget
Clean
Yeah, I'm tryna keep my room clean

So if you care to ask what′s new




I'm doing my best to clean my room
Yeah, I′m tryna to keep my room clean

Ok, meu quarto está uma bagunça
Mas juro que tentei o meu melhor
Apenas para limpar minha cabeça
Enquanto minha vida está explodindo
Eu acho que ouvi de seus amigos
Você encontrou alguém novo
Dizem que ela é ótima para você
Não consigo responder a todos os meus textos
Deixo todos na leitura
Estou tão feliz por estar sozinha
Estou tão cansado de amor
Eu realmente não estou sozinha há dezoito meses
Isso é tão bom
Mas, se você quer me desbloquear, por favor
E eu tenho me mantido hidratado
C-porque o desgosto é superestimado
Dormir cedo, não sair tarde
Como eu costumava fazer com você
Estou tentando limpar meu quarto
Todo dia eu arrumo minha cama
Só para tirar você da minha cabeça
E eu estou usando protetor solar
Trinta SPF, sim, desde que você saiu
Sim, eu estou tentando manter meu quarto limpo
Sim, eu estou tentando manter meu quarto limpo
Acho que estou ficando muito bom
Eu evito seu bairro
Eu me concentrei em mim
Quem eu quero ser
O mundo é muito mais louco
Do que eu jamais soube
Eu vejo as coisas claramente sem você
E eu tenho me mantido hidratado
C-porque o desgosto é superestimado
Dormir cedo
Não saindo tarde como eu costumava fazer com você
Estou tentando limpar meu quarto
Todo dia eu arrumo minha cama
Só para tirar você da minha cabeça
E eu estou usando protetor solar
Trinta SPF, sim, desde que você saiu
Ainda não tenho certeza se encontrei o amor da minha vida ainda
Não há um único amante que me arrependa
Estou muito triste por não podermos ficar amigos
Mas acho que entendi, querida
Você está tentando esquecer
Mmm, limpo
Sim, eu estou tentando manter meu quarto limpo
Então, se você quiser perguntar o que há de novo
Estou fazendo o meu melhor para limpar meu quarto
Sim, estou tentando manter meu quarto limpo
