Great Escape Lyrics

My great escape
is about to begin again
My plight here is dire
If I don't find a way
Then the only option is
To fight fire with fire.
Guess I'm just tired of always having to explain
Why it's just me and only me who is to blame.

Say what you want to me
Unkind and amplified
Cry or bat those eyes
You'll never change my mind.
Say what you want of me
I've got an axe to grind
I aced the test of time
Now, kindly step aside.

My great escape
Is reminding me from within
We've both had it out and up to here.
You know, I just tired of always living in your shadow
When really I'm fine to make this all up as I go.

Say what you want to me
Unkind and amplified
Cry or bat those eyes
You'll never change my mind.
Say what you want of me
I've got an axe to grind
I aced the test of time
Now, kindly step aside.

You know, I just tired of always living in your shadow
Guess I'm just tired of living in your shadow
Fine to make this all up as I go...

Say what you want to me
Unkind and amplified
Cry or bat those eyes
You'll never change my mind
My Great escape! My great escape!
I thank you for your time
Now, kindly step aside.
