Understanding
Amy leeConsciously, you've forgotten them
That's the way the human mind works
Whenever something is too unpleasant
Or too shameful for us to entertain
We reject it
We erease it from our memory
But the imprint is aways there"
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
For I've tried to fight the truth
My final time
"We're supposed to try to be real
And when you feel alone
You'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
Oh, can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away, yeah
Can't cry it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
Oh, it all away
Oh, it all away, yeah, yeah
"But the imprint is always there
Nothing is ever really forgotten
God, just don't hate me
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"
