Rinse lyrics

She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye

She would suffer, she would fight, and compromise

She's been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright

For answers to questions that will haunt her tonight

She must rinse this all away

She can't hold him this way

She must rinse this all away

She can't love him this way

How she'd be soothed, how she'd be saved if he could see

She needs to be held in his arms to be free

But everything happens for reasons

That she will never understand

Until she knows that the heart of a woman

Will never be found in the arms of a man

She must rinse this all away

She can't hold anybody this way

She must rinse this all away

And she can't love him

And if she runs away she fears she won't be followed

What could be worse than leaving something behind?

And as the depth of oceans slowly become shallow

It's loneliness she finds, if only he was mine

She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye

She would suffer, she would fight and compromise

She's been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright

For answers to questions that will haunt her tonight

She must rinse him

She must rinse him

She can't rinse him

She can't rinse him

She can't, she won't, she must rinse him

She can't, she won't, she must rinse him

She must rinse this all away

She can't hold him this way

She must rinse this all away

She can't love him this way
