"I Can't Escape From You" lyrics

I Can't Escape From You

I've tried and tried
To run and hide
To find a life that's new
But where 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 tears
Are souvenirs
Of a 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
