Well all I need is just a little time
To straighten out my head and get my feet back into line
I've smartened up my act and I'll start again
And I think I've gone too far this time to wash away the stain

I can't get away from myself
I can't get away from myself
I can't get away from myself
I can't get away from all of this

Dirty water
Filthy water
Dirty water
Washing over me
Washing over me

Now I'm on the case
And I'm right from wrong
And despite all of the anger you were happy to play along
You said I needed this
Well, I agree
But that still doesn't give you a reason to blame it all on me

I can't get away from myself
I can't get away from myself
I can't get away from myself
I can't get away from all of this

Dirty water
Filthy water
Dirty water
Washing over me
Washing over me

Well, I take it all back I had that I want a second chance
Words were something you were never any good at
I never got to grips with all that you stood for
Mouth like a trap face like a closed door
Why is a question? What is an answer?
All eating away at your insides like a cancer
Something for nothing is never gonna admit it
If the shoe's big enough then your foot will fit it

I can't get away from myself
I can't get away from myself
I can't get away from myself
I can't get away from all of this

Dirty water
Filthy water
Dirty water
Washing over me
Washing over me
