I feel like a pouty child
But I think you're a traitor
Claiming that you loved me wild
Then left with see you later
I brought you to life
Brought color to your darkest night
You're better now
So you can't be tied down

But you wish I would wait for you
And when you wish I make it true
But I'm losing faith
Waving at the ship from the island
You crashed the plane
And left me behind here to die when
You begged me not to let you drown
Saved your life and you kicked me down
Running away
The great escape

On a whim you left for the city
Hope the noise will drown out your conscience
All the plans and dreams you had with me
Lose their shine in a stranger's apartment
And you call me every week
A stronger girl would let it ring
I know it's all an evil scheme
To freeze me in place

'Cause you want me bound to you
And my instincts bow down to you
They always do
I'm losing faith
Waving at the ship from the island
You crashed the plane
And left me behind here to die when
You begged me not to let you drown
Saved your life and you kicked me down
Running away
The great escape

But we're here because of you
And these tears are 'cause of you
While you're scared of losing out
I'm just scared of losing you
But I'm sick of solitude
And you're sick, you won't come through
You couldn't even stay for me but
You want me to wait for you

I'm losing faith
Waving at the ship from the island
You crashed the plane
And left me behind here to die when
You begged me not to let you drown
Saved your life and you kicked me down
Running away
The great escape

But we're here because of you
(The great escape)
And these tears are 'cause of you
(The great escape)
While you're scared of losing out
(The great escape)
I'm just scared of losing you
(The great escape)
But I'm sick of solitude
(The great escape)
And you're sick, you won't come through
(The great escape)
You couldn't even stay for me but
(The great escape)
You want me to wait for you
