You hold the answer deep within your own mind Consciously you've forgotten it That's the way the human mind works Whenever something is too unpleasant Too shameful for us to entertain we reject it [We wash it all away] We erase it from our memory But the imprint is always there [we wish it all away] [We hope it all away] [Can't cry it all away]
The pain that grips you The fear that binds you Releases life in me In our mutual shame we hide our eyes To blind them from the truth that finds a way for who we are
Please don't be afraid When the darkness fades away The dawn will break the silence Screaming in our hearts
My love for you still grows This I do for you Before I try to fight the truth My final time
We're supposed to try and be real And when you feel alone, you are not together And that is real
Can't wash it all away Can't wish it all away Can't cry it all away Can't scratch it all away
Lying beside you Listening to you breathe The light that flows inside of you Burns inside of me
Hold and speak to me Of love without a sound Tell me you will live through this And I will die for you
Cast me not away Say you'll be with me For I know I cannot bear it all alone
You're not alone, honey Never, never
Can't fight it all away Can't hope it all away Can't scream it all away It just won't fade away, no
Ooh, can't wash it all away Can't wish it all away Can't cry it all away Can't scratch it all away
Can't fight it all away Can't hope it all away Can't scream it all away Oh! It all away Oh! It all away
But the imprint is always there Nothing is ever really forgotten
God, just don't hate me Because I'll die if you do 'Cause I'll die if you do 'Cause I'll die if you do 'Cause I'll die if you do Because I'll die if you do
