  • She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye
    She would suffer, she would fight, and compromise
    She's been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright
    For answers to the questions that will haunt her tonight

    She must rinse this all away
    She can't hold him this way
    She must rinse this all away
    She can't love him this way

    How she'd be soothed, how she'd be saved if he could see
    She needs to be held in his arms to be free
    But everything happens for reasons that she will never understand
    'til she knows the heart of a woman will never be found in the arms of a man

    [Chorus]

    And if she runs away she fears she won't be followed
    What could be the worse than leaving something behind
    And as the depth of oceans slowly become shallow
    It's loneliness she finds
    If only he was mine

    She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye
    She would suffer, she would fight, and compromise
    She's been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright
    For answers to the questions that will haunt her tonight

    She must rinse him
    She must rinse him
    She can't rinse him
    She can't rinse him
    She can't, she won't, she must rinse him
    She can't, she won't, she must rinse him
    She must rinse this all away
    She can't hold him this way
    She must rinse this all away
    She can't love him this way Writer/s: VANESSA CARLTON

  • Matthew from Sayre, PaKaty, I know you won't see this, as you likely don't read this, but know that there are some people out there thinking of you, and others like you. I will admit, I don't do the things you do, nor do I do the things most people do - I exist on the outside of it all. I just kinda help when I can find the problems.

    But what I do know, is that I have see the girl in you do the things you have done, and I hope you have gotten truly better. Change is tough, and I hope you have found it, and more importantly, yourself.

    Be well...
  • Katy from Portland, Ori can definetaly relate to this song. i was obsessed with this one guy and i really did do anything to get him to notice me - to love me. then i thought he thought i was fat and if i were skinnier, i would have a better chance of dating him if i looked better. i wasn't fat really, but i was a little on the heavy side. i went on this crazy diet and started lying about everything; what i did in my spare time which was usually cutting myself out of lonliness and fear of never finding my soulmate, and about what i was eating. i lost my parent's trust and my friend's respect. he didn't even want me and then i finally started to realize how low my self confidence had become. i'm working hard right now on looking in the mirror and really being happy. i know mirror images don't make a person happy, so i'm still trying to figure out why i've fallen in this trap.
