Evanescence - Understanding lyrics

Album: Evanescence EP (1998)

You hold the answer deep within your own mind
Consciously, you have forgotten it
That is the way the human mind works
Whenever smth is too unpleasant
Too shameful for us to entertain, we reject it
We erase it from our memory
But the imprint is always there

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´re

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
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my final time

We are supposed to try to be real
We feel alone when we are not together & that´s 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 & speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you´ll live through this
And I´ll die for you
Cast me not away
Say you will be with me
For I know I can not bear it all alone

You are 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

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
Move it all away
Move it all away

But the imprint is always there
Nothing´s ever really forgotten

God, please don´t hate me
Because I will die if you do
Because I will die if you do
Because I will die if you do
Because I will die if you do

Because I will die if you do
