An Escape From You
Can I stop the sobs
Am I strong enough
To escape their evil
To deny what’s real
I ask myself why God would
Stick me in this jail, my own hell
So if I get help I might not feel
My own manic episodes, this is real
Am I bleeding
Am I seeing the truth
Or is it just a way
To deny my love for you
They say
Just pop a pill
To numb
All that can’t heal
Can I stop the sobs
Am I strong enough
To escape their evil
To deny what’s real
Is it delaying the problem
Is it sticking a bandage
On a broken arm
Am I covering the truth
Is it an escape from you
I have no idea
If it’s the right thing to do
But all I know is
I must forget you
So I’ll take this bitter pill
And I’ll conceal my inner hell
Cause it’s all I can do
To stop loving you
