  • I can understand how the edges are rough
    And they cut you like the tiny slivers of glass
    And you feel too much
    And you don't know how long you're gonna last,
    But everyone you know, is tryna smooth it over,
    Find a way to make the hurt go away,
    But everyone you know, is tryna smooth it over,
    Like you're trying to scream underwater,
    But, I won't let you make the great escape,
    I'm never gonna watch you checkin' out of this place
    I'm not gonna lose you
    'Cause the passion and the pain
    Are gonna keep you alive someday
    Gonna keep you alive someday
    I feel like I could wave my fist in front of your face
    And you wouldn't flinch or even feel a thing
    And you retreated to your silent corner
    Like you decided the fight was over for ya,
    Everyone you know, is tryna smooth it over,
    Find a way to make the hurt go away,
    Everyone you know, is tryna smooth it over,
    Everyone needs a floor they can fall through
    I won't let you make the great escape,
    I'm never gonna watch you checkin' out of this place
    I'm not gonna lose you
    'Cause the passion and the pain
    Are gonna keep you alive someday
    They're gonna keep you alive someday
    Oh, terrified of the dark, but not if you go with me
    And I don't need a pill to make me know
    And I wrote the book already,
    But that chapter of my life will soon be done
    I'm the king of the great escape
    You're not gonna watch me checkin' out of this place
    You're not gonna lose me
    'Cause the passion and pain
    Are gonna keep us alive, someday
    Yeah the passion and the pain
    Are gonna keep us alive someday,
    Someday, yeah Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
