Lost Lucky Escape
[Verse 1 – Gabriel]
I wrote it down when I first met you
The secret you kept from me
I’m so damn smart; you don’t think I’m special
But maybe I wouldn't agree
You lost perspective
We all get damaged, but I don't think I’d ever heal
But you must be happy without me
[Pre-Chorus 1 – Gabriel]
Like all of the stories I've heard of the two of you
Is he your lover?
I'm not surprised, I’m so gray
Let's not pretend like we weren’t a fake couple
And your back to bending over again
What?! [Transition to Gabriel’s Wife]
[Chorus – Gabriel’s Wife]
You never said the things you wanted
You kept them in
You left your dreams, and now it haunts you
What could have been
You're so diluted, you're such a fake
And now you got nobody else to manipulate
I couldn’t dodge a bullet
I lost my lucky escape
[Verse 2 – Gabriel’s Wife]
You probably think I must be broken
You ignorant boy, be ashamed
Well I can tell you honey, I'm potent
At least I own up to mistakes
Don't lie to me now
Just have some courage and show them who you really are
All this is too exposing
[Pre-Chorus 2 - Gabriel]
Like all of the stories I've heard of the two of you
Is he your lover?
I'm not surprised, I’m so gray
Let's not pretend like we weren’t a fake couple
And your back to bending over again
What?! [Transition to Gabriel’s Wife]
[Chorus – Gabriel’s Wife]
You never said the things you wanted
You kept them in
You left your dreams, and now it haunts you
What could have been
You're so diluted, you're such a fake
And now you got nobody else to manipulate
I couldn’t dodge a bullet
I lost my lucky escape
[Bridge – Gabriel’s Wife]
You just loved me a little too late
And I lost my lucky escape
You just loved me a little too late
Lost my lucky
Lost my lucky escape
You just loved me a little too late
And I lost my lucky escape
You just loved me a little too late
Lost my lucky
Lost my lucky escape
[Chorus – Gabriel’s Wife]
You never said the things you wanted
You kept them in
You left your dreams, and now it haunts you
What could have been
You're so diluted, you're such a fake
And now you got nobody else to manipulate
I couldn’t dodge a bullet
I lost my lucky escape
