The Great Escape Songtext
von P!nk

I can understand how the edges are rough
And they cut you like the tiny slivers of glass
And you feel too much
And you don′t know how long you're gonna last

But everyone you know, is tryin′ smooth it over
Find a way to make the hurt go away
But everyone you know, is tryin' smooth it over
Like you're trying to scream underwater

But, I won′t let you make the great escape
I′m never gonna watch you checkin' out of this place
I′m not gonna lose you
'Cause the passion and pain
Are gonna keep you alive someday
Gonna keep you alive someday

I feel like I could wave my fist infront of your face
And you wouldn′t flinch or even feel a thing
And you retreated to your silent corner
Like you decided the fight was over for ya


Everyone you know, is tryin' smooth it over
Find a way to make the hurt go away
Everyone you know, is tryin′ smooth it over
Everyone needs a floor they could fall through

I won't let you make the great escape
I'm never gonna watch you checkin′ outta this place
I′m not gonna lose you
'Cause the passion and pain
Are gonna keep you alive someday
They′re gonna keep you alive someday

Oh, terrified of the dark, but not if you go with me
And I don't need a pill to make me numb
And I wrote the book already
But that chapter of my life will soon be done

I′m the king of the great escape
You're not gonna watch me checkin′ out of this place
You're not gonna lose me
'Cause the passion and pain
Are gonna keep us alive, someday
Yeah, the passion and the pain
Are gonna keep us alive someday, someday
