Wash Away

If I could simply wash away these tears,
I think I'd live again,
But I cannot send them down the drain
As easily as the soap from my hands.
If I could wash away this pain,
I would, in a heartbeat,
But it clings to me,
It tears at me,
And I'm falling apart.
If I could wash away this sadness,
I think I'd feel again,
But inside my heart is emptiness,
For I have drained it out.
If I could wash it all away,
I think I'd want to go on with life.
