Escaping lyrics

Lying here,

All alone, in the shadows

I believe, when I sleep,

All the pain's gonna fade away...

I can dream, can't I?

When I close my eyes,

Kiss the world goodbye,

I dream I'm escaping...

To a land far away,

Through the night time,

There's a secret place

Where no one can hurt you;

Desert you...

No one hurts you!

That's why I'm escaping...

[Chorus:]

Oh! Oh!

It's hard to say goodbye

Knowing that when I try,

Try to forget you,

Love brings reality home.

I keep my heart up on the shelf,

Hiding inside myself.

What am I doing?

No use in faking!

When love is forsaken,

It's so hard escaping your love!

(Away... Away...)

There's a love

Made for me waiting out there.

When that day comes along

I'll be strong: I will make it through!

I can dream, can't I?

When I close my eyes,

Will the tears run dry?

This time I'm escaping...

[Chorus:]

Oh! Oh!

It's hard to say goodbye

Knowing that when I try,

Try to forget you,

Love brings reality home.

I keep my heart up on the shelf,

Hiding inside myself.

What am I doing?

No use in faking!

When love is forsaken,

It's so hard escaping your love!

[Instrumental]

(Away... Away...)

I can dream, can't I?

When I close my eyes,

Kiss the world goodbye...

This time I'm escaping!

[Chorus:]

Oh! Oh!

It's hard to say goodbye

Knowing that when I try,

Try to forget you,

Love brings reality home.

I keep my heart up on the shelf,

Hiding inside myself.

What am I doing?

No use in faking!

When love is forsaken,

It's so hard escaping your love!

(Away... Away...)

I'm going away...

(Away... Away...)
