The getaway (acoustic)

Bottle it up, keep it locked inside
tell yourself to forget tonight.
This wont go away
and I can't tell myself to stay.
This empty room that stays unkept
reminding me I haven't slept.
You're keeping me awake.

This is the getaway.

I wont be the one to keep you
from having all you wanted.
But I wanted to be right next to you.
You can't say that I'm the reason
you're changing with the season.
But I knew it was too good to be true.

This ringing phone, your simple words
wishing I would not have heard.
I can't get away
and I can't tell myself to stay.
This open road might kill the thought
of all the times I should have fought
but fighting wouldn't get us anywhere any way.

Another night its the same old story
never give up what you've been learning.

So bottle it up and keep it locked inside
tell yourself to forget tonight.
I promise you it will be okay
but this wont go away
