It's easier [bad word] 
Replacing this pain with something numb
It’s so much easier [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] replacing this pain with something good 
It’s so much easier to go 
Than face all this pain here all alone 

It's easier [bad word] 

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
