It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb

[ I'm so tired of never knowing what's wrong with me... ]

It’s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

[ No one here to face it with me, will there ever be? ]

Something has been taken
From deep inside of me
A secret I’ve kept locked away
No one can never see

[ They'll never know my true feelings, as sad as it is. ]

Wounds so deep they never show
They never go away

[ My scars never leaving, though I want them to. ]

Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they've played

[ These images of pain from long ago... things I'd rather die than witness again... ]

(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 all 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 the shame to the grave)

[ All this pain, all the things I've done wrong, taking the blame.. sounds so easy, but is also so impossible.. ]

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb

[ I'll run away, acting like it's not there.. ]

It’s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

[ I can't face it alone... ignorance is bliss, as they say.. ]

Sometimes I remember
The darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories
I wish I didn’t have

[ These god-awful things I don't want to remember, but can't FUCKING help it... ]

Sometimes I think of letting go
And never looking back
And never moving forward
So there'd never be a past

[ Sometimes I wish it would all simply end, put an end to all of my misery... ]

(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 all 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 the shame to the grave)

[ All this pain, all the things I've done wrong, taking the blame.. sounds so easy, but is also so impossible.. ]

Just watching it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don’t feel misplaced
Is so much simpler than change

[ Helpless, alone, can't change it... ]

It's easier to run,
Replacing this pain with something numb

[ I'll run away, acting like it's not there.. ]

It’s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

[ I can't face it alone... ignorance is bliss, as they say.. ]

It's easier to run
(If I could change I would
Take all the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made)

[ Just make it all go away.. ]

It's easier to go
(If I could change I would
Take all 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 the shame
To the grave)

[ I could end it all.. simply by... ]
