You hold the answers
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 erase it from our memories
But the imprint is always there
Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't 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 from 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 I feel alone and we're 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 life 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
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
Ooh, it all away
Ooh, it all away
But the imprint is always there
Nothing is ever really forgotten
Because I'll die if you do
Because I'll die if you do
Because I'll die if you do
Because I'll die if you do
Because I'll die if you do
