• Lyrics to Solitude and Understanding By Evanescence

  Understanding

  Items in italics are spoken quotes from 'When a Man Loves a Woman' (1994, starring Meg Ryan and Andy Garcia)

  You hold the answer deep within your own mind. Consciously you've forgotten it. That's the way the human mind works. Whenver something is too unpleasant, too shameful for us to entertain we reject it, we erase it from our memory, but the imprint is always there.

  We wash it all away, we wish it all away, we hope it all away, can't cry it all away.

  The pain that grips you
  The fear that binds you
  Releases life in me
  In our mutual shame we hide our eyes
  To blind them from the truth that finds a way to who we are

  Please don't be afraid
  When the darkness fades away
  The dawn will break the silence screaming at our hearts
  My love for you still grows
  This I do for you
  Before I try to fight the truth my final time

  We're supposed to try to be real. We feel alone when we're not together, and that is real.

  Can't wash it all away
  Can't wish it all away
  Can't cry it all away
  Can't scratch it all away

  Lying beside you
  Listening to you breathe
  The light that flows inside of you burns inside of me
  Hold and speak to me
  Of love without a sound
  Tell me you will live through this and I will die for you
  Cast me not away
  Say you'll be with me
  For I know I cannot bear it all alone

  You're not alone, honey, Never. Never.

  Can't fight it all away
  Can't hope it all away
  Can't scream it all away
  It just won't fade away

  Can't wash it all away
  Can't wish it all away
  Can't throw it all away
  Can't scratch it all away

  Can't fight it all away
  Can't hope it all away
  Can't scream it all away
  Move it all away
  Move it all away

  But the imprint is always there, nothing is ever really forgotten

  Because I'm dying too,
  Because I'm dying too,
  Because I'm dying too,
  Because I'm dying too,
  Because I'm dying too

   

   

  Solitude

  2.. 3.. 4 <-- Teh Ben

  How many times have you told me you love her?
  As many times as I wanted to tell you the truth
  How long have I stood here, beside you?
  I lived through you; you looked through me

  Ooo, solitude
  Still with me is only you
  Ooo, solitude
  I can't stay away from you

  How many times have I done this to myself?
  How long will it take before I see?
  When will this hole in my heart be mended?
  Who now is left alone but me?

  Ooo, solitude
  Forever me and forever you
  Ooo, solitude
  Only you, Only true

  Everyone leaves me stranded
  Forgotten, abandoned, left behind.
  I can't stay her another night

  Your secret admirer
  Who could it be?

  Ooo..
  Can't you you see all along it was me?
  How can you be so blind as to see right through me?

  Solitude
  Still with me is only you
  Ooo, solitude
  I can't stay away from you

  Ooo, solitude
  Forever me and forever you
  Ooo, solitude
  Only you, only true
