Clean Sweep
©2006 Lisa Horan

There she was
At the center of a lie
Made into a scapegoat
For someone else’s false denials

Friends she trusted
To stand in her defense
Quickly turned and walked away
The truth was too big an expense

So she made a decision
She didn't know if she could follow through
She had to convince herself
It was what she had to do

Chorus
Make a clean sweep
Get back on your feet
Don't turn around
Before you head out of town
just make a clean sweep

She set off
Into the great unknown
Conceding the familiar
She'd never felt more alone

But she knew
That there was no other way
She'd gotten slapped enough to know
There was no reason for her to stay

So she made a decision
She didn't know if she could follow through
But she had to convince herself
It was what she had to do

Chorus

Bridge
As time went on
Her scars began to heal
She was amazed
At what her journey had revealed

She was strong
Stronger than she'd ever been
Because she listened
To that voice from within

Chorus
