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
(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 Explain Request ×
