Understanding (Sound Asleep)

"You hold the answers" The pain that grabs 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 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 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 scratch it all away I've tried so hard (I have tried super hard) Tried to be without you for so many years No, no, no And I have cried (So many words I have saved for someone, for sometime) I love you, I love you, and I want you to stay
