Years & Years – Lucky Escape lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wrote it down when I first met you
The way that you stared at me
You're so damn smart, you think you're special
But maybe I wouldn't agree
Don't lose perspective
We all get damaged, and some of us don't ever heal
But you must be happy without me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
From all of the pictures I've seen of the two of you
Is he a model?
I'm not surprised, you're so vain
Let's not pretend like we didn't have problems
And I'm back to being angry again
Yeah

[Chorus]
You never said the things you wanted
You kept them in
You made a scene, and now it haunts you what might have been
You're so deluded, you're such a fake
And now you got somebody else to manipulate
I think I dodged a bullet
I made a lucky escape

[Verse 2]
You probably think I must be broken
Promiscuous 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]
Do I have to see all the pictures of both of you
Is he a model?
I'm not surprised, I'm so vain
Let's not pretend like we're solving the problem
And I'm back to being angry again
Yeah

[Chorus]
You never said the things you wanted
You kept them in
You made a scene, and now it haunts you what might have been
You're so deluded, you're such a fake
And now you got somebody else to manipulate
I think I dodged a bullet
I made a lucky escape

[Bridge]
You just come back a little too late
I'll be making my lucky escape
You just come back a little too late
Make my lucky
Make my lucky escape
You just come back a little too late
I'll be making my lucky escape
You just come back a little too late
Make my lucky
Make my lucky escape

[Chorus]
You never said the things you wanted
You kept them in
You made a scene, and now it haunts you what might have been
You're so deluded, you're such a fake
And now you got somebody else to manipulate
I think I dodged a bullet
I made a lucky escape
