The Great Escape




So this is it?

So this is your great
escape?

i kissed you good night
not good bye...

but thats ok thats fine
turn your back with barely a sigh

i guess its a fitting ending
for something that never started

what a cliche finale
to a race we never finished

a memorial
to the broken hearted


i remember my first taste
our first date
our first kiss
that look of bliss
in your eyes

you were innocent
perfect in my eyes

looks, personality, and your charm
you had it all...

but then i began to see through
the face you painted

the all american girl...
laced with a heavy heart

i watched as the paint faded
and you just fell apart

Chrous

so hey...

dont incite the others
your living in my eyes

please dont run to another
or save your long good byes

dont waste your time with me
your lingering on to long

your really worth nothing
just another love lost and gone wrong

so...


just sit with me
and enjoy this august sky

recall when things were better
pretend its last july

when everything i said
would make you smile

and the things i did
made ya laugh

it wasnt that long ago
cant we go back?

but now
i walk alone

and i feel so
far from home



stop inciteing others
and living in my lies

dont waste your breath
save your long good byes

i never want to see
that look in your eyes

lets not walk
in circles

or stall
whats meant to be

look at yourself
tell me what you see

that was it
that was my great escape

i kissed you goodbye...
not good night
