These Arms Lyrics

These Arms lyrics

(Dwight Yoakam)

 

 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

 A vacant memory

 Finding just the empty space

 Around what's left of me

 

 Two arms that failed completely

 Arms both scarred so deeply

 Keep paying love's costs

 With each tragic sway

 Trying meekly to assist

 My struggle with the truth

 Unable to resist

 What tears still make us view

 

 Two arms that failed completely

 Arms both scarred so deeply

 Keep paying love's costs

 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
