Letra de 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 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
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 petal 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
