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 my 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 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 my 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 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

Sneaking out the bedroom Cursing, tripping on the stuff Looking for my car keys While I'm pulling my jeans up I make sure I'm out before I turn my phone back on I've got five missed calls Can't believe what I just did I lost myself tonight But I just gotta get to you The guilt's making me drive I stumble in, I wake you up But when you look at me I just can't speak 'Cause you're the only one, the only one Who ever gave a damn And it's killing me to know you think I'm better than I am Came over here to tell the truth But looking in your eyes Baby sometimes, it's easier to lie You know that I've been crying So you ask what's going on Your arm's around my shoulder You got no clue what I've done 'Cause you don't see the guilt in me And that just makes it worse Yeah, that just makes it worse 'Cause you're the only one, the only one Who ever gave a damn And it's killing me to know you think I'm better than I am Came over here to tell the truth But looking in your eyes Baby sometimes, it's easier to lie It's easier to lie, oh It's so easy I can't believe what I just did I lost myself tonight 'Cause you're the only one, the only one Who ever gave a damn And it's killing me to know you think I'm better than I am Came over here to tell the truth But looking in your eyes Baby sometimes, it's easier to lie 'Cause you're the only one, the only one Who ever gave a damn And it's killing me to know you think I'm better than I am Came over here to tell the truth But looking in your eyes Baby sometimes, it's easier to lie

If the lonely night surrounds you Yeah you're weighed down by gloom No you don't like what it feels in Your dark and dirty room It'll be easier in the morning It'll be easier in the day Sun will shine on though your window We got light to lead the way Looks like the bottle has run empty Yeah your heart is torn and dry Lord you don't like what it feels like Your sad and lonely eyes Looks like the highways never ending Yeah your legs they feel like lead Lord you're twisting yeah and turning In your wide and lonely bed It'll be easier in the morning etc. Looks like you got no one you can talk to No one left to talk to And your heart is torn'n'blue Yeah you look in no direction No direction... I guess these words might pull you through
