Evanescence - Understanding (live version) lyrics

"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 memories 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 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."
