Dirty Laundry

Washed out, hung, left to dry
Thrown down without a goodbye
I see you some days
Buried in your gloom
I know that you see me in the corner of your room

I've been burned, I've been worn
I've been ripped and cut and torn
Yet somehow, I still want to be picked up by you tonight
I've been lost, I've been found
I've been soaked and stripped and drowned
Yet somehow, I still want to be wrapped around your arms tonight
Remember when you said that I was thin and fraying?
I patched my holes for you even though I was breaking

I'll cut my loose ends, make you see
That I'm not some dirty laundry
For you to keep washing
You need to go shopping
Leave me behind, I will be fine
I'll find someone who wears me right
I'm done being used like I was used before
I'm not dirty laundry anymore

Rung out, scrubbed, left to sit
Thrown down into your closet
I see you some days
Buried in your woe
I'd help, but the washer is the only remedy I know

I've been burned, I've been worn
I've been ripped and cut and torn
Yet somehow I still want to be picked up by you tonight
I've been lost, I've been found
I've been soaked and stripped and drowned
Yet somehow I still want to be wrapped around your arms tonight
Remember when you said that I was thin and fraying?
I patched my holes for you, even thought I was breaking

I'll cut my loose ends, make you see
That I'm not some dirty laundry
For you to keep washing
You need to go shopping
Leave me behind, I will be fine
I'll find someone who wears me right
I'm done being used like I was used before
I'm not dirty laundry anymore
