"Can't Let Him Win" lyrics

Good night to you my friend
The sum of this day will depend
On how we treat each other in the morn'
We're complicated folks
All stuck inside our bulks
Afraid to be misunderstood and wronged

And I can see in you he has had one too many tries
Your skin is pale, your heart worn out by one too many lies
And it's a complicated thing, I shouldn't stick my nose out in
But I'm your friend, and I can't let him win

With him he brought the rain
We had to learn how to exchange
Subtle cues and looks containing love
You took time away from me
Embarrassed of what I'd see
But I was more afraid of what I heard

And I can see in you he has had one too many tries
Your skin is pale, your heart worn out by one too many lies
And it's a complicated thing, I shouldn't stick my nose out in
But I'm your friend, and I can't let him win

Good night to you my friend
I'll let this evening tuck you in
Surrounding you with faith that things can change
I'm here in case you wake
I understand the things at stake
I can help, I'll free you from your chains

'Cause I can see in you he has had one too many tries
Your skin is pale, your heart worn out by one too many lies
And it's a complicated thing, I shouldn't stick my nose out in
But I'm your friend, and I can't let him win
