the pain that grips you, the fear that binds me
oh, well, this is life indeed
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

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 would die for you
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
