You're always on my mind even when I think you're not
Were you there the night I felt the thought begin to cross
Hold me in your arms like someday you know you won't
When it's hard
Both the places we come from are tangled up in blue
To clear a path we walk down arm in arm is all I do
But I count the pain of every day like pennies in a jar
And it's hard
Since before I learnt to, I've believed in an idea
I don't blame you, I don't blame me, I blame Hollywood and fear
We said a lot and settled on, the door's closed but it's here
This is hard, this is hard
Am I getting better or am I doing time?
Am I holding on to your life more tightly than to mine?
Do I want to be right or to be kind?
Maybe if this really is the end I'll see you there
Maybe we can help each other feel like once we cared
To the swimming song, chlorine my eyes but keep it fair
'Cause it's hard, 'cause it's hard
Am I getting better or am I doing time?
Am I holding on to your life more tightly than to mine
Do I want to be right or to be
Getting better or am I doing fine?
Am I holding on to your life more tightly than to mine?
Do I want to be right or to be kind?
