Clean
This Beautiful Mess Lyrics

You went out there on your own
You decided to face a difficult situation alone without anyone's help.

You went out there to carry the weight
You chose to bear the burden of a problem or issue that was not necessarily yours to bear.

And nobody here goes free
Everyone has their own issues and problems, and nobody can escape them.

You went to wear the crown of thorns
You took on a difficult and painful task that would result in your own suffering.

To throw the first stone at yourself
You are willing to take responsibility for your own mistakes and shortcomings.

Cause nobody here is clean
Everyone has flaws and makes mistakes, and nobody is completely innocent.

And you gave yourself away
You made sacrifices and put yourself at risk to help others, even if it meant suffering yourself.

Every finger is pointing at you
You are being blamed and accused of wrongdoing by others.

Everything is accusing you
All evidence and circumstances seem to be against you, making it difficult to defend yourself.

Everybody is needing a scapegoat
Others are looking for someone to blame and hold responsible for their problems, and you have become the target.

So you got out there
You took a risk and faced the situation head-on.

And you gave yourself away
You continued to make personal sacrifices in order to help others, even at great personal cost.

You're hit in the face
You are being physically or metaphorically attacked or assaulted.

You're spit in the face
You are being insulted, demeaned, or humiliated by others.

Now where is your God
You may feel abandoned or forgotten by a higher power that you once believed in.

And where is your grace
You may feel that you no longer have the inner strength, dignity, or kindness that you once possessed.
