Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She came calling one early morning
She showed her crown of thorns
She whispered softly to tell a story
About how she had been wronged
As she lay lifeless
He stole her innocence
And this is how she carried on
This is how she carried on
[Verse 2]
Well, I guess she closed her eyes
And just imagined everything's alright
But she could not hide her tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
They were sent to wash away those years
[Verse 3]
My anger's violent, but still I'm silent
When tragedy strikes at home
I know this decadence is shared by millions
Remember, you're not alone
Remember, you're not alone
[Verse 4]
Well, if you just close your eyes
And just imagine everything's alright
But do not hide your tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
[Verse 5]
Well, if you just close your eyes
And just imagine everything's alright
But do not hide your tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
They were sent to wash away those years
Maybe we can wash away those years
[Verse 6]
For we have crossed many oceans
And we labor in between
In life there are many quotients
And I hope I find the mean
The mean
The mean
[Verse 7]
Well, if you just close your eyes
And just imagine everything's alright
But do not hide your tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
[Verse 8]
Well, if you just close your eyes
And just imagine everything's alright
But do not hide your tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
[Verse 9]
Maybe we can wash away those years
I hope that you can wash away those years
