Sloan Treacy - Great Escape Lyrics

Waste away
It was a great escape
But we know it for what it was
Just a big mistake

Gloss it over
You can make it shine
But it was all a disguise to hide
What was really inside

I hopped off a cliff just to see if I'd fly
Caught a gust of wind and for a second thought I might
I have to be wrong cause you need to be right
If all you do is tell the truth
I'd love to hear a lie

Give us forever but we wouldn't last a second
The whole thing was an act
Cause we're masters at pretending
We dived head first right into the shallows
Brace for the impact
It's certain to follow

I guess I'm a monster
Cause I want you to hurt
I gave you my trust
Which you didn't deserve

You say it was simple
And they were just words
But they're stuck in my head
A chorus that I rehearse

I hopped off a cliff just to see if I'd fly
Caught a gust of wind and for a second thought I might
I have to be wrong cause you need to be right
If all you do is tell the truth
I'd love to hear a lie

Give us forever but we wouldn't last a second
The whole thing was an act
Cause we're masters at pretending
We dived head first right into the shallows
Brace for the impact
It's certain to follow

Waste away
Great escape
Waste away
We were a big mistake

I hopped off a cliff just to see if I'd fly
Caught a gust of wind and for a second thought I might
I have to be wrong cause you need to be right
If all you do is tell the truth
I'd love to hear a lie

Give us forever but we wouldn't last a second
The whole thing was an act
Cause we're masters at pretending
We dived head first right into the shallows
Brace for the impact
It's certain to follow
