Evanescence - Understanding (original acoustic) lyrics

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

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

Cast me not away

Say you'll be with me

For I know I cannot

Bear it all alone

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 hope it all away
