The The - I Can't Escape From You lyrics

I've tried and tried to run and hide

To find a life that's new

But wherever I go I always know

I can't escape from you

A jug of wine to numb my mind

But what good does it do?

The jug runs dry and still I cry

I can't escape from you

These wasted years are souvenirs

Of love I thought was true

Your memory is chained to me

I can't escape from you

There is no end, I can't pretend

That dreams will soon come true

A slave too long to a heart of stone

I can't escape from you
