Understanding (acoustic version) Lyrics

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 to 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
