Sometimes it's easy to hold on 
To things you can't control
And I've seen people throw themselves away 
For something they can never change

You can lie away, you can lie in wait
Waiting for your life
But it will pass you by
You can cry away, but it won't take the pain
Gotta let it wash away with the rain

It's not that easy when you love someone 
To make yourself face the truth
But life goes on even when you think it's gone
You did everything you thought that you could do

You can lie away, you can lie in wait
Waiting for your life
But it will pass you by
You can cry away, but it won't take the pain
Gotta let it wash away with the rain

Every day's another chance to lose yourself
But by God's grace we're here today
So let him take away your pain

I don't lie in wait, waiting for your life
'Cause it will pass you by
You can cry away, but it won't take the pain
Gotta let it wash away
You can lie away, but don't wait for your life
'Cause it will pass you by
You can cry away but it won't take the pain
Gotta let it wash away with the rain
