Hardest Day
You clench your pretty jaw
Against the cold words coming
I offer this commitment
Don't beat against it
Don't start running
Don't start running

I watch you weigh the question
And I brace for the flood
What I want is a burning field
What I want is to cross this blood
To cross this blood

I can't cure you with contentment
Heal your resentment or your scars
But I can drive the car
When the hardest day
Has worn your will away

Just don't start running
