Ashley Esterwood Escapism Lyrics

When everything in the world seems to spin around
I need more than just a kind word to keep me from falling down
Begging for some mercy from what life has given me
It's so unfair to say that I can't have a minute to breathe
But everybody makes bad choices, guess I'll have to live with mine
And getting over what I've done is bound to take some time

[Chorus:]
But I can conquer my shadows beyond the dark
Find a way to get back into your heart
Seeking out the places to where I need to be with you
I've got to escape the pain this life has put me through

And this time I'm never gonna let you go
This time I swear I'll never let you leave

Exhausted from the trials that I seem to fall down on
I used to be a better woman, somebody once so strong
But as I'm getting older and I realize my fate
I've never gotten anywhere by spewing our words of hate
Letting someone love me just to push them away from me
Was my biggest mistake I've made and now I need some counseling

But I can conquer my shadows beyond the dark Find a way to get back into your heart
Seeking out the places to where I need to be with you
I've got to escape the pain this life has put me through

And this time I'm never gonna let you go
This time I swear I'll never let you leave

Maybe when I find out the truth about where I'm going
I can seek out some way of finally really knowing
What I've got to give to you is something bigger than before
I have to sincerely apologize for making you beg me for me
And this time I'm never gonna let you go
This time I swear I'll never let you leave
I'm going to let you stay inside of me

But I can conquer my shadows beyond the dark
Find a way to get back into your heart
Seeking out the places to where I need to be with you
I've got to escape the pain this life has put me through

But I can conquer my shadows beyond the dark
Find a way to get back into your heart
Seeking out the places to where I need to be with you
I've got to escape the pain this life has put me through
