P!nk - The Great Escape Lyrics
I can understand how when the edges are roughAnd they cut you like the tiniest slithers of glassAnd you feel too muchAnd you don't know how long you're gonna lastEveryone you know, is tryin' smooth it over,Find a way to make the hurt go away,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 placeI'm not gonna lose youCause the passion and the painAre gonna keep you alive somedayGonna keep you alive somedayI feel like I could wave my fist in front of your faceAnd you wouldn't flinch or even feel a thingAnd you've retreated to your silent cornerLike you decided the fight was over for yaEveryone 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 can fall throughI won't let you make the great escape,I'm never gonna watch you checkin outta this placeI'm not gonna lose youCause the passion and painAre gonna keep you alive somedayThey're gonna keep you alive somedayI'm terrified of the dark, but not if you go with meAnd I don't need a pill to make me numbAnd I wrote the book on runnin',But that chapter of my life will soon be doneI'm the king of the great escapeYou're not gonna watch me checkin outta this placeYou're not gonna lose meCause the passion and painAre gonna keep us alive, somedayYeahת the passion and the painAre gonna keep us alive someday, someday
