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
