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 fucked 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 fucked 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?)
Doin' time while you have your freedom believin'
You shoulda washed it away (away)

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'm gonna wash you away, wash you away (wash you away)

Stop the man
