文本歌词

I can understand
How the ages are rough
And they cut you
Like the tiny slithers of glass
And you feel too much
And you don't know
How long you're gonna last
But everyone you know
Is tryin' a smooth it over
Find a way
to make the hurt go away
But everyone you know
Is tryin' a 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 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 retreat to your silent corner
Like you decided
the fight was over for ya
Everyone you know
Is tryin' a smooth it over
Find a way
to make the hurt go away
Everyone you know
Is tryin' a 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 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
