Lyrics:


Nothing's ever changed, just a turn away
You've washed your hands
You've made that all too clear
You just keep on living this lie

You refuse to see I'm in agony
The cross I bear
But you don't seem to care
Even Judas knew he had lied

I keep wondering why
I'm still calling your name through my tears

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why
I'm still calling your name, my dear

I'm sorry if you can't stand the naked truth
All you see is how you want it to be
So you keep on living your lie

Release me from this cross after all these years
Call my name and help me with this weight
Even though it comes far too late

I keep wondering why
I'm still calling your name through my tears

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why
I'm still calling your name

And I wonder, oh, I wonder
You were hardest to hold
You would run from the dark
You can purify them and save my heart

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why
I'm still calling your name

And I wonder, oh, I wonder
You were hardest to hold
You would run from the dark
You can purify them and save my heart

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why
I'm still calling your name, my dear
