Escape lyrics

Daylight crept in while you were sleeping

And daylight changed our world forever

I woke to find the true love

I prayed was in my heart

Has escaped, it has escaped

So peacefully there you lie dreaming

While I try to find the words to say

Maybe I could live a lie

Or maybe spread my wings

And fly to escape, to escape

All the pain that love brings,

All the tears I've been hiding

All the guilt I'm fighting

I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I can't love you better

I can't live this dream forever

Someday one heart will find you,

Give you all the love that I should

I wish I could throw a lifeline,

Save you from the truth I am

Praying that in time you will say:

You've escaped; I've escaped

You open your eyes and you ask me

The question I don't want to answer

I choke the words about us

And say from my heart:

Love's escaped, love's escaped

So strong she is now though she's crying

And still she must ask if I'm OK

Maybe I should wipe her tears away,

Say goodbye and leave today

I must escape, I will escape

All the pain that love brings,

All the tears I've been hiding

All the guilt I am fighting

I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I can't love you better

We can't live this dream forever

Someday one heart will find you,

Give you all the love that I should

I wish I could throw a lifeline,

Save you from the truth I am

Praying that in time you will say:

You've escaped; mmm escaped

I wish you'd throw a lifeline

And kiss me for the last time

Forgive me now, before you make

Your escape, mmm
