[Verse 1]
Stability over chemistry
Well, it only works for so long, love
And I don't know if I'll still be waiting
Our love was killed by an industry with the reputation for such
But I can't leave it, more or less, I'm stuck
I'll never understand how you so simply turned it off
It changed my perception of everything we were
Of course, it always helps to run right into someone else's arms
You don't feel the sting when there's a new spark

[Chorus]
You will never escape my love, you know
You'll never know how good we could be
I will always feel we were cut short
You'll never know
You'll never know
You'll never know

[Verse 2]
You'd think by now I'd be void of inspiration
But you keep crawling in my ears and out of my mouth
I'll purge myself with lyrics and intoxication
The best therapy I've found

[Chorus]
You will never escape my love, you know
You'll never know how good we could be
I will always feel we were cut short
You'll never know
You'll never know
You'll never know
Just when I thought I had finally found the real thing, you got cold
You will never escape my love, you know
You'll never know
You'll never know
You'll never know
[Bridge]
I could make amends, if this made perfect sense
(At first I felt so weak, I fell right to your feet)
If timing played a part, then how much was your heart?
(I got myself back up, your words are not enough)
If this is how it ends, I can't wait to begin
(It's hard to let you go, we both will never know)
Well, some say it's your loss
That nothing's all I've got
(Without those miles apart, if I'd still have your heart)
And you can't take it back

[Chorus]
You will never escape my love, you know
You'll never know how good we could be
I will always feel we were cut short
You'll never know
You'll never know
You'll never know
Just when I thought I had finally found the real thing, you got cold
You will never escape my love, you know
You'll never know
You'll never know
You'll never know
