These Arms

These arms

That hang here by my side

These arms

That ache to open wide

Useless arms

With nothing left to do

Since these arms

Stopped holding you

These arms

Are worthless now to me

They let you go

So how good could they be

Just foolish arms

For which I have no need

A pair of arms

That grew weak and set love free

Reaching out to embrace affect now Marie

Finding just the empty space

Around what's left of me

Two arms that failed completely

Arms both scarred so deeply

Keep paying loves cost with each tragic sway

Trying meekly to assess my struggle with the truth

Unable to resist what tears still make us do

Two arms that failed completely

Arms both scarred so deeply

Keeps paying loves cost with each tragic sway

These arms

That hang here by my side

These arms

That ache to open wide

Useless arms

With nothing left to do

Since these arms

Stopped holding you

Since these arms

Stopped holding you
