WASH LOVE AWAY

I’m just an old photograph
She keeps under her bed
A stack of old love letters
She reads every now and then
I’m just an old t-shirt
She still sleeps in at night
I’m her favorite book
She never reads to the end

You can’t wash love away
Tattoos only fade
Open wounds can close
But that don’t mean
They’ll ever heal
You can’t wash love away
The heart feels what it feels
no matter how hard you try
Sometimes your hands
Just never come clean

You can’t wash love away
wash love away
wash love away
Baby… tattoos only fade

I’m just an old love song
That’s still plays in her mind
Yeah I wrote every line
You hear her singing all the time
I’m that old coffee cup
In her hand all day long
I’m the reason she likes it
So sweet So strong

You can’t wash love away
Tattoos only fade
Open wounds can close
But that don’t mean
They’ll ever heal
You can’t wash love away
The heart needs what it needs
no matter how hard you try
Sometimes your hands
Just never come clean

You can’t wash love away
wash love away
wash love away
Baby… tattoos only fade
You can’t wash love away
wash love away
wash love away
Baby… tattoos only fade
