You've washed your hands; you've made that all too clear

You refuse to see, you're denying me

The cross I bear, but you don't seem to care

Cold is your silence, denying what is real

I'm sorry if you can't stand the naked truth

All you see is how you want it to be

                            Asus2
So you keep on living this lie

Release me from this cross after all these years

    E                B                  F#m
Oh, call my name and help me with this weight

I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name

       B            F#
and I wonder, oh I wonder ...

      C#m                         A
In my heart I still hope you will open the door
