“Coming Clean” by Searows is a song that seems to allude to a complex relationship that has reached a critical point.

[Verse 1]
Find me in the raincoat you could've sworn you were missing
We don't talk the whole way home
I leave the coat in the kitchen
Let me have a few more months
I'll talk to you when I'm ready
Say “I never got to lose it once”
So I do and you let me
[Pre Chorus]
But is this coming clean
Or am I kicking up dirt where I shouldn't?
And what’s it gonna mean?
I can't fix all the things that you couldn't
Do I just end up losing my footing?
[Chorus]
But I don’t wanna be your angel
Wanna see you cut off a limb
Nobody wins
If I kill you
Would I have to forgive you still?
[Verse 2]
Sterilize the thing you know
Give it to somebody who's strong
Fallout from thе glass you broke
There's still a piеce in my palm
And just like that, we’re starting over
Just when we were getting into it
Fake your death and call it closure
Just like we would do when we were kids
[Pre Chorus]
But is this coming clean
Or am I digging up the bodies you buried?
And what's this supposed to mean?
Am I brave if the noise doesn't scare me?
If I make myself easy to carry?
[Chorus]
But I don’t wanna be your angel
Wanna see you cut off a limb
Nobody wins
If you killed me
I would have to forgive you still
[Bridge]
I would've died for it
I would've died for it
I would've died for it
I would've died for it
