[Verse 1]
EmThe pain that grips Dyou, the fear that binds Cyou
DReleases life in me
EmIn our mutuDal shame we hide our Ceyes
To blind them from the Dtruth that finds a way for who we Emare
Please don't be afrDaid when the darkness fades awCay
The dawn will break the Dsilence screaming at our Emhearts
My love for you still Dgrows and this I do for Cyou
Before I try to Dfight the truth my final time
[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]
CCan't wash it all aDway, can't wish it all awaEmyD  
CCan't cry it all aDway, can't scratch it all awEmayD  
[Verse 2]
EmLying beside Dyou listening to you Cbreathe
The light that flows insDide of you burns inside of Emme
Hold and speak to Dme of love without a Csound
Tell me you will Dlive through this and I will die for Emyou
Cast me not awDay, say you'll be with Cme
For I know I Dcannot bear it all aloEmne
