[Verse 1: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose, & John Connolly]
(Stop the man!)
From endin' up with all the chips so he can't
(Promise him an only chance)
To have the freedom that's been taken from me
(You can try to lift your head, no)
You fucked up with me, now live with the truth
Find a reason to lie! (Try)

[Chorus 1: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose, & John Connolly]
Seems like it hasn't been long
I've given (so much, how could you hide?)
You're sick with all the guilt, you're never forgiven
(You try to wash it away, wash it away)

[Verse 2: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose, & John Connolly]
(Ask again) why all the dreams I had are now left broken!
(Punished for a wounded past)
Afraid to wake and find reality breathin'
(Why has life been taken from me?)
I fucked up and now I live with the truth
With no reason to lie (I)

[Chorus 2: Lajon Witherspoon, John Connolly, & Morgan Rose]
Feel like it hasn't been long
I'm driven (to keep myself alive!)
You're sick with all the guilt, you're never forgiven
(You'll never wash it away, wash it away)
[Refrain: Morgan Rose]
How can you live with yourself?

[Guitar Solo: John Connolly]

[Chorus 3: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose, & John Connolly]
Seems like it hasn't been long
I've given (so much, how could you hide?)
Doin' time while you have your freedom believin'
(You shoulda washed it away)
Feel like it hasn't been long
I'm driven (to keep myself alive!)
You're sick with all the guilt, you're never forgiven
(I'm gonna wash you away, wash you away)

[Outro: Morgan Rose]
Stop the man!
