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
