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
