LINKIN PARK - 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
PreYou burn the ground to hold your position
You ran away if I came too close
You kept track of balance and pressure
All the dreams and desires
I want some more
Red
Black
Green for the jackpot
Take you down
I want to take you down
I want to take you down with me
We had the motion we had the grace
We had a sense of time and place
We wrote the rules and played the game
And it would never be the same
It was the beauty while we played
We played to win but no one did
We grew old we moved ahead
From dance hall days for higher stakes
You spun the wheel to keep my attention
You danced away if I missed a beat
You were queen of present and future
I was king and cavalier
On our tour de force
Red
Black
Green for the jackpot
Take you down
I want to take you down
I want to take you down with me
We had the motion we had the grace
We had a sense of time and place
We wrote the rules and played the game
And it would never be the same
It was the beauty while we played
We played to win but no one did
We grew old we moved ahead
From dance hall days for higher stakes
