[Lyric] Escape Route (Autumn Fires)

Complications
Swear I’m a waste of time
Is it easy to find every flaw of mine?
You couldn’t wait
Could’ve been so much more than this
Than this

You call me out
Can’t explain why you hate me
But it comes in waves every time that I look your way
‘Cause you meant that
You’re different
You’ll change your colours in front of my eyes

Your words are ringing
So deep inside my head
Don’t need your reasons
Why can’t you see?

I’ve been trying to get to my escape route
Buried far underneath
No way to get to you
Boy you already know that you’ve got a hold of me
Holding onto my hands
I’ll lie awake too scared of feeling the pain
‘Cause I’ve been numb ‘til now
Chasing after what I never knew
What I never knew
I’ve got no time to waste
But baby you’ve got time to kill
And the paintings on the walls are stories
I can’t bear to let them go
And I tried so hard to convince myself
That I’m not full of regret
Still drowning in it
And the motion makes me sick
No I’m not getting used to this
(Used to this, used to this)

I’ve been trying to get to my escape route
Buried far underneath
No way to get to you
Boy you already know that you’ve got a hold of me
Holding onto my hands
I’ll lie awake too scared of feeling the pain
‘Cause I’ve been numb til now
Chasing after what I never knew
What I never knew

It’s complicated enough
And you were twisting the truth
Fingers crossed behind your back
It’s complicated enough
And you were twisting the truth
(Twisting the truth)
I’ve been trying to get to my escape route
(Been trying to get to you)
Buried far underneath
No way to get to you
Boy you already know that you’ve got a hold of me
(You got a, a hold on me)
Holding onto my hands
I’ll lie awake too scared of feeling the pain
‘Cause I’ve been numb ‘til now
Chasing after what I never knew
What I never knew
