its easier to run

replacing this pain with something numb

its 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

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

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
