Be My Escape (Acoustic) Lyrics by Relient K

Be My Escape (Acoustic)

Ive given up, Im giving up slowly, Im blending in so
You wont even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last call that You mentioned is my one last shot at redemption
because I know to live you must give your life away
And Ive been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
Ive been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And Ive been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, theres no way in knowing where to go, promise Im going because
I gotta get outta here
Im stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And Im begging You, Im begging You, Im begging You to be my escape.

Im giving up Im doing this alone now
Cause Ive failed and Im ready to be shown how
Hes told me the way and Im trying to get there
And this life sentence that Im serving
I admit that Im every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

Cause Ive been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
Ive been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And Ive been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, theres no way in knowing where to go, promise Im going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause Im afraid that this complacency is something I cant shake
I gotta get outta here
And Im begging You, Im begging You, Im begging You to be my escape.

I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess Ive made
And all Im asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I cant ask You to give what You already gave

Cause Ive been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
Ive been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And Ive been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, theres no way in knowing where to go, promise Im going because
Ive gotta get outta here
Im stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
Ive gotta get outta here
And Im begging You, Im begging You, Im begging
You to be my escape.

I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You

So were You
