[Chorus]
It's easier to run away, you see,
Than face the pain that lives in me.
It's easier to fake a smile so bright,
Than tell you how I feel tonight.
[Verse 1]
The images, the sounds, they replay,
My fear keeps growing day by day.
The scars I have, they will not mend,
This torment seems to have no end.
[Verse 2]
The darkness takes control, it's true,
The brightness fades and slips from view.
I feel like time is standing still,
I cannot move against my will.
[Chorus]
It's easier to run away, you see,
Than face the pain that lives in me.
It's easier to fake a smile so bright,
Than tell you how I feel tonight.
[Verse 3]
The memories remain so clear,
They feed my scars, they hold me here.
Fear is a constant friend of mine,
But still, I'll push on, I'll be fine.
[Bridge]
I'll keep pushing on, that's what I'll do,
[Verse 4]
A new day dawns, a brand new start,
But still, it feels like breaking of my heart.
As if all happiness has burned away,
But still, I'll push on anyway.
[Chorus]
It's easier to run away, you see,
Than face the pain that lives in me.
It's easier to fake a smile so bright,
Than tell you how I feel tonight.
[Verse 1]
The images, the sounds, they replay,
My fear keeps growing day by day.
The scars I have, they will not mend,
This torment seems to have no end.
[Verse 5]
Damn, try to numb it all once more,
But the pressure keeps rising to the core.
Blood runs down my arm, I see,
Only numbing the pressure inside of me.
[Chorus]
It's easier to run away, you see,
Than face the pain that lives in me.
It's easier to fake a smile so bright,
Than tell you how I feel tonight.
[Verse 6]
Somehow my world is shattered glass,
The thoughts of dying come to pass.
But still, I'll push on anyway,
I'll try to fight another day.
[Verse 7]
I'll keep searching for the light,
In the darkness of the night.
I'll try not to break apart inside,
And keep my hope as my guide.
