"The Great Escape" lyrics
I feel like a pouty child
But I think you're a traitor
Claiming that you loved me wild
Then left with "See you later"
I brought you to life
Brought color to your darkest nights
You're better now so you can't be tied down
But you wish I would wait for you
And when you wish, I make it true, but
I'm losing faith waving at the ship from the island
You crashed the plane and left me behind here to die when
You begged me not to let you drown
Saved your life then you kicked me down
Running away, the great escape
On a whim, you left for the city
Hope the noise will drown out your conscience
All the plans and dreams you had with me
Lose their shine in a stranger's apartment
And you call me every week
A stronger girl would let it ring
I know it's all an evil scheme to freeze me in place
'Cause you want me bound to you
And my instincts bow down to you
They always do
I'm losing faith waving at the ship from the island
You crashed the plane and left me behind here to die when
You begged me not to let you drown
Saved your life then you kicked me down
Running away, the great escape
But we're here because of you
And these tears are 'cause of you
While you're scared of losing out
I'm just scared of losing you
But I'm sick of solitude (The great escape)
And you're sick, you won't come through (The great escape)
You couldn't even stay for me, but (The great escape)
You want me to wait for you? (The great escape)
Well, I'm losing faith waving at the ship from the island
You crashed the plane and left me behind here to die when
You begged me not to let you drown
Saved your life then you kicked me down
Running away, the great escape
We're here because of you (The great escape)
And these tears are 'cause of you (The great escape)
While you're scared of losing out (The great escape)
I'm just scared of losing you (The great escape)
But I'm sick of solitude (The great escape)
And you're sick, you won't come through (The great escape)
You couldn't even stay for me, but (The great escape)
You want me to wait for you? (The great escape)
But I think you're a traitor
Claiming that you loved me wild
Then left with "See you later"
I brought you to life
Brought color to your darkest nights
You're better now so you can't be tied down
But you wish I would wait for you
And when you wish, I make it true, but
I'm losing faith waving at the ship from the island
You crashed the plane and left me behind here to die when
You begged me not to let you drown
Saved your life then you kicked me down
Running away, the great escape
On a whim, you left for the city
Hope the noise will drown out your conscience
All the plans and dreams you had with me
Lose their shine in a stranger's apartment
And you call me every week
A stronger girl would let it ring
I know it's all an evil scheme to freeze me in place
'Cause you want me bound to you
And my instincts bow down to you
They always do
I'm losing faith waving at the ship from the island
You crashed the plane and left me behind here to die when
You begged me not to let you drown
Saved your life then you kicked me down
Running away, the great escape
But we're here because of you
And these tears are 'cause of you
While you're scared of losing out
I'm just scared of losing you
But I'm sick of solitude (The great escape)
And you're sick, you won't come through (The great escape)
You couldn't even stay for me, but (The great escape)
You want me to wait for you? (The great escape)
Well, I'm losing faith waving at the ship from the island
You crashed the plane and left me behind here to die when
You begged me not to let you drown
Saved your life then you kicked me down
Running away, the great escape
We're here because of you (The great escape)
And these tears are 'cause of you (The great escape)
While you're scared of losing out (The great escape)
I'm just scared of losing you (The great escape)
But I'm sick of solitude (The great escape)
And you're sick, you won't come through (The great escape)
You couldn't even stay for me, but (The great escape)
You want me to wait for you? (The great escape)
