Wash Away - Ambleside

Bottle up the pain

Let it rain and wash away

Let it carry you to a better place

Don’t forget my name

My mind often wonders back

To the kids that we used to be

What’s left?

Nothing but memories

A shell of who you used to be

Is this a consequence of never chasing dreams?

Slowly you’re sinking

Locked in a cage, no way to breathe

You bottle up the pain

Did it have to be this way?

Let it rain and wash away

I’m reaching out and its all for you

Bottle up the pain

Let it rain and wash away

Let it carry you to a better place

Don’t forget my name

I’m wishing for a change that never came

I’ll rewrite the past so you will never be replaced

And I know your hands were tied

Your fate was set, put on your bravest smile

Now do we have to look back?

I’m reaching out and its all for you

I still remember

I remember the night you called (it's all for you)

I felt the warmth in your voice

You were happy, I was happy for you (it's all for you)

I’ve come to terms with letting go

Had time to think things through

Dear friend, I’ll live this life for two

And I’ll sing this song for you

(All for you) I’m reaching out and it’s all for you

(All for you) I’m reaching out and it’s all for you

Bottle up the pain

Let it rain and wash away

Let it carry you to a better place

Don’t forget my name
