It's easier to run

Replacing this pain with something numb

It's so much easier to go

Than face all this pain here all alone

Something has been taken, from deep inside of me

A secret I've kept locked away, no one can ever see

Wounds so deep they never show, they never go away

Like moving pictures in my head, for years and years they've played

If I could change I would, take back the pain I would

Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

If I could, stand up and take the blame I would

If I could take all the shame to the grave I would

If I could change I would, take back the pain I would

Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

If I could, stand up and take the blame I would

I would take all my shame to the grave

It's easier to run

Replacing this pain with something numb

It's so much easier to go

Than face all this pain here all alone

Sometimes I remember, the darkness of my past

Bringing back these memories, I wish I didn't have

Sometimes I think of letting go, and never looking back

And never moving forward so, there'd never be a past

If I could change I would, take back the pain I would

Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

If I could, stand up and take the blame I would

If I could take all the shame to the grave I would

If I could change I would, take back the pain I would

Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

If I could, stand up and take the blame I would

I would take all my shame to the grave

Just washing it aside

All of the helplessness inside

Pretending I don't feel misplaced

is so much simpler than change

It's easier to run

Replacing this pain with something numb

It's so much easier to go

Than face all this pain here all alone

It's easier to run

If I could change I would, take back the pain I would

Retrace every wrong move that I made

It's easier to go

If I could change I would, take back the pain I would

Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

If I could, stand up and take the blame I would

I would take all my shame, to the grave
