Lyrics:

Too many nights she lay awake
Fighting back the tears
Too many years were wasted
Living in her fears
Her innocence was taken away
Replaced by memories
So many times she's wondered
How would her life have been?
Where were the strong arms
To keep her safe at nights?
What made her laughter disappear?
When will the hurting stop and the memories fade?
And will she find someone to wash away
The anger and the tears?
She prays to God to wash away
The anger and the tears
She's waiting for the light to shine
And burn the dark away
She's hoping that the child she was
Can live with yesterday
She prays for the shame to end
Though it hasn't happened yet
She thinks that one day maybe she'll forgive but not forget
