Analysis of Washed Away
You don't know the pain I am
It's something I feel each and every day
I can't explain to you who I am
Because you never listen to me anyway
I'm not afraid to fight
I'm not afraid of this night
Because we all get washed away
Through the years 'till the end of time
Washed away
Send me a smile if you're not afraid
Now you know the pain I am
Because it's something you feel each and every day
So don't be afraid to fight
Please don't be afraid of this night
Because we all get washed away
Washed away no matter if it isn't right
