The Great Escape Lyrics - Pink

1 I can understand how the edges are rough

2 And they cut you like the tiny slivers of glass

3 And you feel too much

4 And you don't know how long you're gonna last

5 But everyone you know, is trying to smooth it over

6 Find a way to make the hurt go away

7 But everyone you know, is trying to smooth it over

8 Like you're trying to scream underwater

9 But, I won't let you make the great escape

10 I'm never gonna watch you checkin' out of this place

11 I'm not gonna lose you

12 'Cause the passion and pain

13 Are gonna keep you alive someday

14 Gonna keep you alive someday

15 I feel like I could wave my fist in front of your face

16 And you wouldn't flinch or even feel a thing

17 And you've retreated to your silent corner

18 Like you decided the fight was over for ya

19 Everyone you know, is trying to smooth it over

20 Find a way to make the hurt go away

21 Everyone you know, is trying to smooth it over

22 Everyone needs a floor they could fall through

23 I won't let you make the great escape

24 I'm never gonna watch you checking outta this place

25 I'm not gonna lose you

26 'Cause the passion and pain

27 Are gonna keep you alive someday

28 They're gonna keep you alive someday

29 Oh, terrified of the dark, but not if you go with me

30 And I don't need a pill to make me numb

31 And I wrote the book already

32 But that chapter of my life will soon be done, oh

33 I'm the king of the great escape

34 You're not gonna watch me checking out of this place

35 You're not gonna lose me

36 'Cause the passion and pain

37 Are gonna keep us alive, someday

38 Yeah, the passion and the pain

39 Are gonna keep us alive someday, someday
