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 for who we are
 Please don't be afraid  when the darkness fades away
 The dawn will break the silence  screaming at our hearts
 My love for you still grows  and 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 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 hope it all away
Can't  scream it all away,  it just won't fade away
I  tried so hard
