"Escape"

(Jonathan Miller/ ©Venus Songs (ASCAP))

I'm not drowning in your silent sea
Your cold shoulder put no ice on me
Never once will you see these eyes cry
We may have lost our love but I ain't lost my life

Your self-sufficient love isn't what a want
A one-track one-way train
Isn't one I'll take
I dreamt of a future holding hands with you
But now I see this is what I gotta do

[Chorus]
Make the Escape
Taking my whole life back 
All your lies, baby, you can keep them
My heart ain't glass for you to crack and peel
'Cause you found out my heart was made of steel

Like a prison I was trapped by you
Holding on to what I thought was true
But I woke up and dug my own way out
Not even your cage could keep this man down

Your self-sufficient love isn't what I want
Your train has arrived but you won't find me on your side
I dreamt of a future holding hands with you
But now I see this is what I gotta do

[Chorus 2x]

When I escaped
When I escaped
When I escaped

I dreamt of a future holding hands with you
But now I see I gotta let go of you

[Chorus]
