Clean Sweep ©2012 Putnam/Sheridan

I've been walkin' around so quietly
Dishes, dustin' doin' laundry
Stay out of your way while you play your games
Endless cookin', cleanin', oh, I need a break
It's like there's no one here to help me out
When you're home you're glued to the couch
You're married more the tv than me
Spider webs a'growin' at your feet

My love's a little dusty
Too many corners piled too deep
Truth can't hide beneath a rug
The promise is too hard to keep
Time to start anew
Time to take one from two
Don't you know that it's time for a clean sweep

Now it's truly startin' to feel cold
When you give me your hand to hold, but
Those times are so rare
You walk ahead like I'm not there
We'll be better off -- this ain't love
Follow you playin' pick up
Let's take that writin' off th' wall
Just let all those mem'ries fall

Goodbye can't be a surprise
You told so many lies
Think you're good at that
I can only laugh ... ha!
Guess you've always been this way
Back then you had a dif'rent face
There's only one thing left to say
That's goodbye to this mess we've made
