Whenever I'm hurt, you are my nurse You stand beside me through all seasons You clean up my face, you fill up my space With white linen and syringes Out on the road you carry my load Make it lighter when I feel weak And when i am blind you crawl in my mind And make me wiser than I could ever be alone I know it ain't easy I know it's getting harder for you I know it ain't easy But these are the roads that we choose When I make a mess you wash and you dress me When I'm wired you talk me down When I'm a fool you're calm and you're cool I never want for anything when you're around When I'm in your bed, all you ever do Is treat me with respect, but I don't know how I know It ain't easy Yes, I know it's getting harder for you I know it ain't easy But these are the roads that we choose Though I've made some big mistakes You don't complain at all Even when you come and find me Crying like a baby Standing up in the bathtub Whenever I'm hurt, you are my nurse You stand beside me through all seasons You're patient when I'm slow, warm when I'm cold You're everything I'm not, you know everything I don't I know it ain't easy I know it's getting harder for you I know it ain't easy But these are the roads that we choose These are the roads that we choose These are the roads that we choose
