 its easier to run

 replacing this pain with something numb

 its so much easier to go

 than face all this pain here all alone

Repeat intro x2

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

if i could take all the shame to the grave

 its easier to run

 replacing this pain with something numb

 its 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 would 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

if i could take all the shame to the grave

 just washing it aside

 all of the helplessness inside

 pretending i don't feel so misplaced

 is so much simpler than change

 its easier to run

 replacing this pain with something numb

 its so much easier to go

 than face all this pain here all alone

 its easier to run

 (if i could change i would take back the pain i would)

 (retrace every wrong move that i made)

 its easier to go

 (if i could change i would take back the pain i would)

 (retrace every wrong move that i made if i could

(stand up and take the blame i would if i could take all the shame to the grave)
