Escape
Kane Alexander Lyrics

Daylight crept in while you were sleeping
The passage of time is inevitable, and things can change without us realizing it.

And daylight changed our world forever
A significant event, metaphorically referred to as daylight, ushered in a new chapter in our lives.

I woke to find the true love
The singer had a realization that the love they thought was true might not be so.

I prayed was in my heart
The artist had hoped that their love for the other person was genuine and would sustain their relationship.

Has escaped it has escaped
The love the artist had for the other person has disappeared entirely.

So peacefully there you lie dreaming
The other person is unaware of the singer's emotional turmoil and is at peace in their sleep.

While I try to find the words to say
The singer struggles to express their true feelings to the other person.

Maybe I could live a lie or maybe spread my wings
The artist considers pretending that everything is okay or taking a chance on a new opportunity and leaving the other person.

And fly to escape to escape
The artist desires to escape the difficult emotions and troubles in their current relationship to find a better life.

All the pain that love brings all the tears I've been hiding
Love can bring both positive and negative emotions, and the artist has been storing up the negative ones, which they cannot hide anymore.

All the guilt I am fighting
The singer feels guilty for wanting to leave the other person and break their heart.

I'm sorry I'm sorry
The artist feels remorse for everything that has happened.

I can't love you better
The singer cannot fix their relationship or love the other person more than they do now.

I can't live this dream forever
The singer acknowledges that the idealized version of their life cannot last forever, and they need to face the reality of their situation.

Someday one heart will find you
The singer optimistically believes that the other person will find a new love that will make them happier.

Give you all the love that I should
The artist acknowledges that they were unable to provide the level of love and commitment that the other person deserved.

I wish I could throw a lifeline save you from the truth I am
The artist wishes they could protect the other person from the hurt they will inevitably cause, but they cannot keep up the facade.

Praying that in time you will say You've escaped
The singer hopes that the other person will come to terms with the end of their relationship and eventually be grateful for escaping it.

You open your eyes and you ask me
The other person wakes up and senses that something is wrong, prompting them to ask the singer a difficult question.

The question I don't want to answer
The other person is asking about their troubled relationship, something the artist does not want to discuss.

I choke the words about us and say from my heart
The artist struggles to articulate their feelings honestly and instead relies on their emotions to speak for them.

Love's escaped love's escaped
The artist reiterates that their love has vanished, and there is no hope for reconciliation.

So strong she is now though she's crying
The other person might appear weak on the outside because they are crying, but they are strong enough to accept the truth and move on.

And still she must ask if I'm OK
Despite the heartbreaking news, the other person is concerned about the artist's wellbeing.

Maybe I should wipe her tears away
The singer is tempted to comfort the other person, but it would only make things harder for them both in the long run.

Say goodbye and leave today
The best course of action is to say farewell to the other person and leave immediately to avoid prolonging the inevitable.

I must escape I will escape
The singer is determined to leave their current life behind and start anew elsewhere.

I wish you'd throw a lifeline and kiss me for the last time
The artist still has feelings for the other person and wishes they could have one final moment of closeness before separating.

Forgive me now before you make Your escape
The artist is asking for forgiveness from the other person before they inevitably move on to their next chapter in life.
