Handcuffs lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Handcuffs lyrics 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 song lyrics
