Id arrest you if I had handcuffs
Id arrest you if I had the time
Id throw you down in the backseat
As if you'd committed a terrible crime
I'd break in a town's worth of houses
And rob whole families blind
Id do it to you like you'd do it to me
If you knew you would get away fine
Id drown all these crying babies
If I knew that their mothers wouldnt cry
Id hold them down and Id squeeze real soft
And let a piece of myself die
Its hard to be the better man
When you forget youre trying
Its hard to be the better man
Id arrest you if I had handcuffs
Id arrest you if I had the time
Id wait for you outside the courtroom
And taunt you when all your appeals were declined
Id drive my car off of a bridge
If I knew that you werent inside
With the pedal to the floor, who could ask for a more
Fantastic way to kill some time
You could lay on your back and be beaten
You could put up your fists and fight
You could try and be way off
Its hard to be the better man
When you forget youre trying
Its hard to be the better man
When youre still lying
Its hard to be the better man
When you forget youre trying
Its hard to be the better man
When youre still lying
Youre still lying
