Easier to run

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

Chorus:
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 

Chorus:
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
