The Escaped Lyrics

We've had better times than this

It's getting harder just to crack a smile these days

So I say, "Here's to those we've loved and miss"

There's a reason we're still here

And they're somewhere beyond the grave

Oh what I wouldn't give

For just one more day with you

Coughing up my past mistakes

Puking from the taste of it

Fighting tears, laid you to rest

I'm trying to make sense of this

You were better than this place

And that's the reason we'll still say your name

Every single chance we get

Life has such a funny way

Of punching you right in the gut

As soon as you can take a breath

Oh what I wouldn't give

For just one more day with you

Coughing up my past mistakes

Puking from the taste of it

Fighting tears, laid you to rest

I'm trying to make sense of this

Should've, could've stayed

But the thought of ever after

Was keeping you awake

Like a drug you can't come down from

The view above the ledge is so far away

You stepped over the edge to kill the pain

Coughing up my past mistakes

Puking from the taste of it

Fighting tears, laid you to rest

I'm trying to make sense of this

Coughing up my past mistakes

Puking from the taste of it

Fighting tears, laid you to rest

I'm trying to make sense of this
