"The Great Escape" lyrics - P!NK

I can understand how
When 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 try'na smooth it over
Find a way to make
The hurt go away

But everyone you know
Is try'na 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 first in front of your face
And you wouldn't flinch
Or even feel a thing

And you've retreated
To your silent corner
Like you decided the fight
Was over for you

Everyone you know
Is try'na smooth it over
Find a way to make
The hurt go away

Everyone you know
Is try'na 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 won't need a pill
To make me numb

And I wrote the book on runnin'
But that chapter of my life
Will soon be done! Oh!

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
