Understanding (Acoustic)

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

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
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

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't hope it all away
