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 new 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
