The Great Escape Lyrics - P!nk

1 I can understand how

2 When the edges are rough

3 And they cut you

4 Like the tiny slivers of glass

5 And you feel too much

6 And you don't know how

7 Long you're gonna last

8 But everyone you know

9 Is try'na smooth it over

10 Find a way to make

11 The hurt go away

12 But everyone you know

13 Is try'na smooth it over

14 Like you're trying

15 To scream underwater

16 But, I won't let you

17 Make the great escape

18 I'm never gonna watch you

19 Checkin' out of this place

20 I'm not gonna lose you

21 'Cause the passion and the pain

22 Are gonna keep you alive someday

23 Gonna keep you alive someday

24 I feel like I could

25 Wave my first in front of your face

26 And you wouldn't flinch

27 Or even feel a thing

28 And you've retreated

29 To your silent corner

30 Like you decided the fight

31 Was over for you

32 Everyone you know

33 Is try'na smooth it over

34 Find a way to make

35 The hurt go away

36 Everyone you know

37 Is try'na smooth it over

38 Everyone needs a floor

39 They can fall through

40 I won't let you

41 Make the great escape

42 I'm never gonna watch you

43 Checkin' out of this place

44 I'm not gonna lose you

45 'Cause the passion and the pain

46 Are gonna keep you alive someday

47 They're gonna keep you alive someday

48 Mmm, mmm

49 Oh, terrified of the dark

50 But not if you go with me

51 And I won't need a pill

52 To make me numb

53 And I wrote the book on runnin'

54 But that chapter of my life

55 Will soon be done! Oh!

56 I'm the king

57 Of the great escape

58 You're not gonna watch me

59 Checkin' out of this place

60 You're not gonna lose me

61 'Cause the passion and pain

62 Are gonna keep us alive someday

63 Yeah, the passion and the pain

64 Are gonna keep us alive someday

65 Someday, yeah
