I’d arrest you if I had handcuffs
I’d arrest you if I had the time
I’d throw you down in the backseat
As if you committed a terrible crime

We break into towns worth of houses
And rob whole families blind
I’d do it to you like you do it to me
If I knew you would get away fine

I’d drown all these crying babies
If I knew that there mothers wouldn’t cry
I’d hold them down and I’d squeeze real soft
And let a piece of myself die

It’s hard to be the better man
When you forget you’re trying
It’s hard to be the better man

I’d arrest you if I had handcuffs
I’d arrest you if I had the time
I’d wait for you outside the courtroom (and taunt you)
As all of your appeals were declined

I’d drive my car off of the bridge
If I knew that you weren’t inside
Put the pedal to the floor, who could ask for more
A fantastic way to kill some time

If you could lay on your back and be beaten
You could put up your fists and fight
(You could try anyway)

It’s hard to be the better man
When you forget you’re trying
It’s hard to be the better man
When you’re still lying

It’s hard to be the better man
When you forget you’re trying
It’s hard to be the better man
When you’re still lying
You’re still lying
