The Great Escape

Pink

1. I can understand how when the edges are rough
   And they cut you like the tiniest slithers of glass
   And you feel too much
   And you don't know how long you're gonna last,
   
R: But everyone you know, is tryin'a smooth it over,
   Find a way to make the hurt go away,
   But everyone you know, is tryin'a 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
   
2. I feel like I could wave my fist in front of your face
   And you wouldn't flinch or even feel a thing
   And you retreat to your silent corner
   Like you decided the fight was over for ya,
   
R: Everyone you know, is tryin'a smooth it over...
   
3. Oh, Terrified of the dark, but not if you go with me
   And I don't need a pill to make me know
   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 outta 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
