Pink (p!nk) - The Great Escape lyrics

[Verse 1] I can understand how the edges are rough And they cut you like the tiny slithers of gla** And you feel too much And you don't know how long you're gonna last [Chorus] But everyone you know, is trying a smooth it over Find a way to make the hurt go away But everyone you know, is trying 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 checking out of this place I'm not gonna lose you Cause the pa**ion and pain Are gonna keep you alive someday Gonna keep you alive someday [Verse 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 [Chorus] But everyone you know, is trying a smooth it over Find a way to make the hurt go away But everyone you know, is trying 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 checking out of this place I'm not gonna lose you Cause the pa**ion and pain Are gonna keep you alive someday Gonna keep you alive someday [Verse 3] 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 on running But that chapter of my life will soon be done [Chorus 2] I'm the king of the great escape You're not gonna watch me checking outta this place You're not gonna lose me Cause the pa**ion and pain Are gonna keep us alive, someday Yeah the pa**ion and the pain Are gonna keep us alive someday, someday
