Whisper
Catch me as I fall
Say you’re here and it’s all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one’s here and I fall into myself
This truth drive me into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
Don’t turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don’t try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don’t close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don’t turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]
I’m frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there’s much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be
Blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
Don’t turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don’t try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don’t close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don’t turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]
Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes [death before my eyes]
Lying next to me, I fear
She beckons me shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I’ve fallen for
I rise to meet my end [I rise to meet my end]
[I rise to meet my end]
Don’t turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don’t try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don’t close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don’t turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]
Understanding
You hold the answer
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 in our hearts
My love for you still grows
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 [I'll 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’ve tried so hard [I have tried super hard]
Tried to be without you for so many years
No, no, no
And I have cried [So many words I have saved for someone, for sometime]
I love you, I love you, and I want you to stay
Forgive me
Can you forgive me again
I don’t know what I said
But I didn’t mean to hurt you
I heard the words come out
I felt that I would die
It hurts so much to hurt you
Then you look at me
You’re not shouting anymore
You’re silently broken
I’d give anything now
To kill those words for you
Each time I say something I regret
I cry I don’t want to lose you
But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah!
‘Cause you were made for me
Somehow I’ll make you see
How happy you make me, Oh!
I can’t live this life
Without you by my side
I need you to survive
So stay with me
You look in my eyes
And I’m screaming inside that I’m sorry [sorry]
[Ooh I'm sorry]
And you forgive me again
You’re my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt you
Understanding [EP VERSION]
You hold the answer deep within your own mind
Consciously you’ve forgotten it
That’s the way the human mind works
Whenever something is too unpleasant
Too shameful for us to entertain we reject it [We wash it all away]
We erase it from our memory
But the imprint is always there [we wish it all away]
[We 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 for 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 when you feel alone, you are 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 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
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
Ooh, 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
Oh! It all away
Oh! It all away
But the imprint is always there
Nothing is ever really forgotten
God, just don’t hate me
Because I’ll die if you do
‘Cause I’ll die if you do
‘Cause I’ll die if you do
‘Cause I’ll die if you do
Because I’ll die if you do
