Easier to run
View chords used in this chart
A F7M
It's easier to run
G E7
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Am G
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The 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
Pre-Chorus
(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)
Chorus
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
Pre-Chorus
Bridge
F G
Just washing it aside
Am Em
All of the helplessness inside
F G
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
G
It's so much simpler than change
Chorus
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)
