Red – Take It All Away Lyrics 16 years ago
Just a guess.........

I'm looking at this as if he is having a conversation with two different people. Verse 1 and 2 are to a person. a sense of betrayal,
"You watched me while I slowly disappeared
I reached for you to save me; you were frozen in your fear"

He feels like he has been betrayed and he is feeling hurt. Verse 2 he is trying to understand why this person would do this to him,

"Circling the pain inside my soul
I reached inside your silence to steal what you won't show
I tried to find the answers in my fears
But what was found is lost again as soon as it appeared"

The chorus is him talking to God, asking him to take the hurt away.

Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away

The bridge is and admittance that he needs God to help him.

I'm breaking; I can't do this on my own
Can you hear me screaming out, am I all alone?
