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
