I Can't Let Him Win
Good night to you my friendThe sum of this day will dependOn how we treat each other in the mornWe're complicated folksAll stuck inside our booksAfraid to be misunderstood and wrong
And I can see in you he has had one too many triesYour skin is pale your heart worn out by liesAnd it's a complicated thing I shouldn't stick my nose out inBut I'm your friend and I can't let him win
With him he brought the rainWe had to learn how to exchange subtle cues and looks containing loveYou took time away from me embarrassed of what I'd seeBut I was more afraid of what I heard
And I can see in you he has had one too many triesYour skin is pale your heart worn out by liesAnd it's a complicated thing I shouldn't stick my nose out inBut I'm your friend and I can't let him win
Good night to you my friendI'll let the season tuck youSurrounding you with faith that things can changeI'm here in case you wakeI understand the things at stakeI can help, I'll free you from your chains
And I can see in you he has had one too many triesYour skin is pale your heart worn out by liesAnd it's a complicated thing I shouldn't stick my nose out inBut I'm your friend and I can't let him win
