Rinse - Vanessa Carlton

She’d do anything to sparkle in his eyes

She would suffer, she would fight and compromise

She’s been wishin' up 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 freed

But everything happens for reasons that she will never understand

Till 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

She can’t love him

And as 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

Its loneliness she finds

If only he was mine

She’d do anything to sparkle in his eyes

She would suffer, she would fight and compromise

She’s been wishin' up 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
