Stop the man from endin' up with all the chips So he can't promise him an only chance To have the freedom that's been taken from me You can try to lift your head, no You ****** up with me, now live with the truth Find a reason to lie, try Seems like it hasn't been long I've given so much, how could you hide? You're sick with all the guilt, you're never forgiven You try to wash it away, wash it away Ask again, why, all the dreams I had are now left broken Punished for a wounded past Afraid to wake and find reality breathin' Why has life been taken from me? I ****** up and now I live with the truth With no reason to lie I feel like it hasn't been long I'm driven to keep myself alive You're sick with all the guilt, you're never forgiven You'll never wash it away, wash it away How can you live with yourself? Seems like it hasn't been long I've given so much, how could you hide? [Incomprehensible] you have your freedom for leavin' 'Cause you go wash it away I feel like it hasn't been long I'm driven to keep myself alive You're sick with all the guilt, you're never forgiven I'll never wash it away, wash it away Stop dreamin'
