From LyricWiki

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,
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 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,
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.
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,
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 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,
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.
[edit] Notes
Rob's playing on this song is extraordinary. He found a way to make a complex drum pattern sound easy and tasteful. Plus, he recorded it in only a few takes. On another note, the verse lyrics emerged from a free-writing exercise performed by Chester: He wrote them to no music, no beat. Mike and Don liked them a lot, and the three guys decided that this was the song to work them into.
