Evanescence - Understanding (Wash It All Away) - Lyrics [Long Version]

“You hold the answers deep within your own mind. Consciously, you’ve forgotten it - That’s the way the human mind works. Whenever something is too unpleasant, to shameful for us to entertain, We reject it. We erase it from our memory. But, the imprint is always there.“ (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. “We’re supposed to try and be real. And, I feel alone, and we’re not together. And, that is real.“ 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. “You’re not alone, honey.“ “Never... Never.“ Can’t fight it all away... Can’t hope it all away... Can’t scream it all away... It just won’t fade away! No... no. Can’t wash it all away! Can’t wish it all away! 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! Ooh, it all away! Ooh, it all away! “But, the imprint is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten.“ “God, please don’t hate me...“ “Because I’ll die if you do.“ “Because I’ll die if you do.“ “Because I’ll die if you do.“ “Because I’ll die if you do.“
