An Escape by The Dear Hunter Lyrics

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
