[Opening iconic riff] [Verse 1] Every promise sounded right at the time Every warning just another distant line I kept moving like the road would forgive But every mile took more than it could give [Pre-Chorus] You say you’ll change You swear it’s the last time through But the voice in your head Is louder than the truth [Chorus] There’s no easy way out (No easy way out) When the fight is in your own mind No easy way out (No easy way out) When the fault line runs inside You can run, you can shout But the truth keeps turning around There’s no easy way out (No easy way out) When you’re the one holding you down [Verse 2] Every step felt like a brand new start Till the same old shadow played its part Blame the world, blame the cards you drew But the mirror keeps pointing back at you [Chorus] There’s no easy way out (No easy way out) When the fight is in your own mind No easy way out (No easy way out) When the fault line runs inside You can run, you can shout But the truth keeps turning around There’s no easy way out (No easy way out) When you’re the one holding you down [Bridge] You can’t outrun what you carry inside You can’t bury what refuses to die Every line that you cross in the sand Turns into another place to stand [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] There’s no easy way out (No easy way out) When the fight is in your own mind No easy way out (No easy way out) When the fault line runs inside You can run, you can shout But the truth keeps turning around There’s no easy way out (No easy way out) When you’re the one holding you down (No easy way out)
