An Escape - The Dear Hunter

Oh, hope, where have you gone?

And will you ever come back to me completely?

All the holes that I’ve bled from

Forcing everyone around my heart to leave me

I could tell

That there was nothing left for us

When you turned, oh, you turned your back

But in the arms of another

You were crying under the covers

For a way to escape, to escape

Oh, God, where have I gone?

And will I ever get the ones I tell to believe me?

All the things I have done

To keep those around from learning to read me

I could tell

There was nothing left for us

When you turned, oh, you turned your back

But in the arms of another

You were crying under the covers

For a way to escape, to escape

So, I guess I’m pressing on without you

I hope it goes the way I want to

But nothing ever seems like it does

And I don’t believe a single word I say

Don’t believe a single word I say

I could tell

That there was nothing left for us

When you turned, oh, you turned your back

But in the arms of another

You were crying under the covers

For a way to escape, to escape
