Oh, won't you tell me how this came to be?
He's hurting you and you're hurting me
I wish I could pick up these broken pieces
Hold them in my hands for you to see
Erase this line in the sand and end this insanity
Everyone comes to falter; that's our Achilles heel
But when you cease to forgive me,
that's when you cease to feel
Who will be there to hold you
when you come undone?
Wash your hands in the water,
but they never come clean
With nerves of steel, your battles are won
When the smoke has cleared and your day is done
Never gonna feel your heart as one
Who will be there to hold you
when you come undone?
Back to the past, it dictates the future
These memories of life
were never meant to hurt you
You can lead him to your waters,
but you can't make him drink!
Wash your hands in the water,
but the water turns red
With nerves of steel, your battles are won
When the smoke has cleared and the damage done
Will you ever feel your heart as one?
Look at what you've become;
now there's no turning back
