Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 the questions that will haunt her tonight
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
How'd she be soothed, how she'd be saved if he could see
She needs to be hold in his arms to be free
But everything happens for reasons that she will never understand
Till she knows the heart of a woman will never be found in the arms of a man
[Verse 4]
She must rinse this all away, she can't hold anybody this way
She must rinse this all away, she can't love him
[Verse 5]
And if she runs away, she fears she won't be followed
What could be worse than leavin' something behind?
And as the depth of oceans slowly become shallow
It's loneliness she finds, if only he was mine
[Verse 6]
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 the questions that will haunt her tonight
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
