Escapee

(shhh...) You had me walking on a tightrope

Every step was something I could lose

You kept changing all the rules

Then blamed me when I couldn't choose

I learned to read between your sentences

Hear the things you never said

Every promise had a crack in it

Every night replayed inside my head

You built the walls around me Brick by brick,

day by day

I thought I'd never find the exit

Then I finally found a way

I'm climbing these mental walls

All those things you said

The cheating, the lying But I don't care...

I'M AN ESCAPEE (escapee...) RIGHT FROM YOUR PRISON!

You tried to keep me locked away

But I found my way out

You thought I'd never leave you

Now hear me scream it loud

You kept a list of my mistakes Like trophies underneath your bed

While you were hiding all your secrets

I was losing sleep instead

You made me question every memory

Made me doubt what I knew

But the more you tried to break me

The less I needed you

I'm climbing these mental walls All those things you said

The cheating, the lying But I don't care...

I'M AN ESCAPEE (escapee...) RIGHT FROM YOUR PRISON!

You tried to keep me locked away But I found my way

out You thought I'd never leave you

Now hear me scream it loud

I'M AN ESCAPEE! I'M AN ESCAPEE!

You built the walls around me But I'm never going back again

No more locks No more chains No more living in your cage

I'm an escapee.
