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
The 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
It's 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
