Linkin Park: It's easier to run

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to run
Replace all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away where one could never see
moved so deep, never show,
They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they've played
[Mike's part]
If I could change I would
Take out 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 out 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
It's easier to run replacing this pain with something good
It's so much easier to go
Then face all this pain here all alone
Some things I remember but thought the soul bypassed
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think I'm letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past
[Mike's part]
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
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 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 good
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 all the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made
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 my shame to the grave
