Handcuffs

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 their 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 You could lay on your back and be beaten You could put up your fists and fight You could try anyway out [X2] 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
