I'd arrest you if i had handcuffs
I'd 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 into a town's worth of houses
and rob whole families blind
I'd do it to you like you'd do it to me
if you knew you would get away fine.

I'd drown all these crying babies
if i knew that their mothers wouldn't cry
I'd lower them down and squeeze real hard
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 outside of the courtroom and taunt you
when all your appeals were declined

I'd drive my car into a bridge
if i knew that you weren't 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

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.
