I try to run and hide

I can't escape no matter how hard I try

*

I tried to change

Change so you would love me

*

I can't escape this life I hate

Escape from your haunting eyes

*

You knew my hopes and dreams

And you used my fears to bring me down

*

You beat me down every chance you got

The bruises I can still feel

*

It was all in my mind that you served the pain

For that gave you power over me

*

I can't escape from my life

I can't escape from you

*

You killed me inside

For which there was no hope

*

You told me that you would never let me be

I said that one day you would see me leave

*

I found a way to leave this place

From the hold you have

*

I can escape this life for which I hate

You have no hold over me

*

For all I am is

A memory
