The Escapist

Time’s up, gotta move on
No way, I will wait another day
Tired of sleeping alone
We meet, like the song
Like thieves at the dark end of the street
Tired of hiding alone
So break up, I ain’t tripping
Ask yourself: Is this life worth living?
When you’re under a spell

So baby if you wanna escape
Just follow me, I’ll show you the way out
I’ll break the chains that bind you and set you free
Baby let me be
Your escapist

For all this time, all you’ve got to show
Is broken hearted tears on the pillow
He never treated you right
So tonight, we’ll do it for real
But he won’t forgive you like I did
So there’s no turning back
Sing out, you know I’ll come running
This cage, it’s kept you far too long
Now the time is come

So baby if you wanna escape
Just follow me, I’ll show you the way out
I’ll break the chains that bind you and set you free
Baby let me be
Your escapist

So come on baby, can’t you see
This ain’t how it’s supposed to be
This ain’t no happy ever after
And in the heart of hearts you know
This ain’t how the story goes
Light up now, burn this page and start again
Time’s up, the clock stopped ticking
Save your soul from the world you’re missing
From the flames of hell

So baby if you wanna escape
Just follow me, I’ll show you the way out
I’ll break the chains that bind you and set you free
Tonight I’m gonna be
Spread your broken wings and fly
Cause up above ain’t nothing but blue skies
I’ll break the chains that bind you and set you free
Tonight I’m gonna be
Your escapist
