Understanding (live version)

(Can't wash it all away)

(Can't Wish it all away)

(Can't hope it all away)

(Can't cry it all away)

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

Before I try to fight the truth, my final time

Can't wash it all away

Can't wish it all away

Can't fight it all away

Can't hope 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 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 wish it all away

Can't scream it all away

It just won't fade away, yeah, no

Ooh, can't wash it all away

Can't wish it all away, yeah, no

Can't cry it all away

Can't scratch it all away

Can't fight 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

Oh, ooh
