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
