Bottle up the pain
Let it rain and wash away
Let it carry you to a better place
Don't forget my name

My mind often wonders back
To the kids that we used to be
What's left?
Nothing but memories
A shell of who you used to be

Is this a consequence
Of never chasing dreams?
Slowly you're sinking
Locked in a cage, no way to breathe

You bottle up the pain
Did it have to be this way?
Let it rain and wash away
I'm reaching out and its all for you

Bottle up the pain
Let it rain and wash away
Let it carry you to a better place
Don't forget my name

I'm wishing for a change that never came
I'll rewrite the past
So you will never be replaced
And I know your hands were tied
Your fate was set, put on your bravest smile
Now do we have to look back?
I'm reaching out and its all for you

I still remember
I remember the night you called
(it's all for you)
I felt the warmth in your voice
You were happy, I was happy for you
(it's all for you)

I've come to terms with letting go
Had time to think things through
Dear friend, I'll live this life for two
And I'll sing this song for you

(all for you) I'm reaching out
And it's all for you
(all for you) I'm reaching out
And it's all for you

Bottle up the pain
Let it rain and wash away
Let it carry you to a better place
Don't forget my name
