Vanessa Carlton - Rinse Lyrics






She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye
She would suffer, she would fight, and compromise
She's been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright
For answers to the questions that will haunt her tonight

She must rinse this all away
She can't hold him this way
She must rinse this all away
She can't love him this way

How she'd be soothed, how she'd be saved if he could see
She needs to be held in his arms to be free
But everything happens for reasons that she will never understand
'til she knows the heart of a woman will never be found in the arms of a man

[Chorus]

And if she runs away she fears she won't be followed
What could be the worse than leaving something behind
And as the depth of oceans slowly become shallow
It's loneliness she finds...
If only he was mine

She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye
She would suffer, she would fight, and compromise
She's been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright
For answers to the questions that will haunt her tonight

She must rinse him
She must rinse him
She can't rinse him
She can't rinse him
She can't, she won't, she must rinse him
She can't, she won't, she must rinse him
She must rinse this all away
She can't hold him this way
She must rinse this all away
She can't love him this way

    I remember one interview she was talking about she suffered a bad miscarriage and the guy she loved didn’t love her back I’m not sure but this song is deep I was happy when she got married and had a baby of her own she wanted a baby for a very long time.

  19. C.... V....

    the heart of a woman can never be found in the arms of a man.

  20. D.... R....

    This Album is just incredible!

  21. L.... M....

    This song brings me back to the breakup of all breakups in my life and makes my heart twinge again for the way this song made me feel when I thought about him.

  22. M.... ....

    I think this is all about self loathing and low self esteem in relationships. When you're filled with inner doubts and regrets it's almost impossible to love yourself, and if you (the person who you think knows yourself best) can't love you, it's almost impossible to believe someone else can.
    So you settle for disdain and allow yourself to get pushed away not getting too close to anyone, trying to look anywhere else but at yourself. Unfortunately the answer can't be found in any other way than facing yourself, certainly not in the obsession with others that comes from this mindset.
    I understand this because I'm there right now. In my only serious romantic engagement so long ago I got my heart broken, but that's fine. I can live with that pain and move on, it was a long time ago. What's still suffering is my pride and self-esteem: I just can't seem to believe in myself anymore.
    I truly revealed myself, everything about me I loved and hated and it wasn't enough for her.

    M.... ....

    And I'm a guy, by the way. Woman don't have the market cornered when it comes to heartbreak, not even close XD

    M.... ....

    +MH3Raiser Of course they don't, they're just encouraged to be more accepting and forward with their disappointments and upset, angry emotions that way. I think we've always been the same in terms of things lost, but society's instead built little walls to separate us. I can relate, in my own way. I was hurt a long, long time ago, more than three years ago, but I still feel that lack of esteem following me around, like a ghost. Fulfillment, once taken away, never really heals itself properly again. At least, that's what I've learned.

    M.... ....

    I thought so first until I read a comment below... it's about a woman who is a "lesbian"... it made me like it more.. made me understand "her" more...

  23. G.... P....

    "Charmed" brought me here😢😊

  24. M.... W....

    "In This Moment" needs to do a metal version of this song... I'd die of delight.

    M.... W....

    hell yes

    M.... W....

    Omg such a good idea!!!!

  25. E.... ....

    "and if she runs away she fears she won't be followed"

    my favourite line in this song

  26. b.... ....

    This song is soo sad! I remember watching an episode of Charmed when this song played. It went perfect with the scene. Poor piper.

    b.... ....

    b1njjj95 yea its when Leo theft I watched all of them over and over again

  27. b.... s....

    this song makes me think of a lonely girlfriend.. ignored in his presence. so in love.. so addicted to him... abandoned from his heart... she tosses away all morals-dignity for him to notice her... she loses her mind trying to fight for someone who doesn't want her.... if only he could see into her heart.. feel the love she has for him.... but in the end... he pushes her away... very sad but honestly realistic...

    b.... s....

    brittany starr omg this is my life. traumatized by loving assholes. still breaking the habit, still haunted by it..

    b.... s....

    brittany starr my life....

    Halliwel witches stand strong beside us!

    J.... T....

    hell ya @wercix_xdd

  31. S.... T....

    I am very sure this is not about a woman thinking she is a lesbian. If a woman is a lesbian she knows before she listens to this song. I think the song means a woman has to find out who she is without considering a man into that equation. She must break free of all things and find out for herself all she needs to know about herself.
    That's what I hear. Love this song....

  32. U.... D....

    I love how this song is about a girl understanding that she is a lesbian. and to be quite honest, it's rather shocking that people didn't get it at first listen. I guess it's not about the lyrics, i guess

    U.... D....

    heard it for a hundred times.. never came to me... I like it... made me go deeper into it.. thank you!

  33. S.... ....

    in which episode of charmed is this?

    S.... ....

    6x11 Prince Charmed

  34. h.... ....

    OMG, I felt chills too, and stg through my heart. It was really perfect!

  35. M.... I....

    Well...the part in Charmed...gave me chills...it was a perfect musical choice for that intro scene...short...but good... :)

  36. M.... M....

    My favorite song of her.

  37. C.... A....

    I used to be that girl (: .

  38. 1.... ....

  42. H.... ....

    Charmed brought me here.

    H.... ....

    HeartOfEmpathy same

  43. B.... ....

    I'm really surprised that this doesn't have a music video. Considering the many literal and metaphorical interpretations, I would have thought that this song and a music video would work so well.

  44. s.... p....

    this my song

  45. r.... ....

    awesome song

  46. M.... ....

    I love this song, Its very sad but its my favorite song, along with twilight, wanted, paradise and sway those are my faves ;)

  47. K.... T....

    How she'd be soothed, how she'd be saved if he could see
    She needs to be held in his arms to be free
    But everything happens for reasons that she will never understand
    'til she knows the heart of a woman will never be found in the arms of a man
    love that part

  48. s.... ....

    took me awhile to think of it lol :)

  49. C.... ....

    always a classic fan favorite!

  50. s.... ....

    was this inspired by Macbeth because when I herd it it reminded me of when lady macbeth kept seeing the blood on her hands and kept rincing away the blood you know when she was going insane.
