It all started so innocently

Won't you come in for just a few weeks

Won't you feel better if you see this through

There's no one else we trust like we trust you

This will be simple, I thought, this will be quick

Just a little clean up, oh I'll have it licked

I guess a smarter man would have known

There was no way I could ever let it go

Oh, I almost made my escape

I almost got away

But just when the sun hit my skin

My old life sucked me back in

So hard to quit when you're good at the game

Nothing else makes you feel quite the same

Weeks turned to months and months to years

Pride became power and power became fear

Oh, I almost made my escape

I almost got away

But just when the sun hit my skin

My old life sucked me back in

One day you find you no longer believe

You don't want to stay but somehow you can't leave

Passion calls gently you often ignore

Stuck inside something that's no longer yours

Oh, I almost made my escape

I almost got away

But just when the sun hit my skin

My old life sucked me back in

My old life sucked me back in

My old life sucked me back in
