Won't take it out on you
Don't take it out on me
We're in a losing battle
How did it come to be?

My hands are as empty as yours
Doing what we can afford
And though we all see the cause
In the night, in the dark
Paper-thin arguments fall down

All that I can't say
Don't hold it against me
There's more than one way
Don't hold it against me
Don't hold it against, don't hold it against me

Trying to find the words
Finding it hard to breath
I try to slow it down
You're picking up the speed
Is it too much to handle?
I try to turn the cheek
Leading with pure compassion
You're fighting endlessly

All that I can't say
Don't hold it against me
There's more than one way
Don't hold it against me
Don't hold it against, don't hold it against me

My heart is as heavy as yours
I don't think I can afford
And though we all see the cause
In the night, in the dark
Build it up, watch it all fall down

All that I can't say
Don't hold it against me
There's more than one way
