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 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 would take all the 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 If I would take all the 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)
