If you can lock the door; Pull the shades
turn the t.v. off; and be OK
You're doing better than I am


If you can climb in bed; close your eyes
lay down your head; and sleep at night

You're doing better than I am

If you can get up in the morning, pour yourself a cup of coffee

and sit down with the paper in your hand
If you can make it through the day without thinking of the pain
If you can find it in yourself to give a damn

You're doing better than I am

If you see your friends

look them in the eyes
when they ask you how you've been
and you don't have to lie

You're doing better than I am

If you can get up in the morning, pour yourself a cup of coffee

and sit down with the paper in your hand
If you can make it through the day without thinking of the pain
If you can find it in yourself to give a damn

You're doing better than I am

If your broken heart, is healing right

If you've forgiven me, for tearing down our life
You're doing better than I am
