I Held Her In My Arms

I'm gnawing on the knowledge that I have been burnt.

And I'm learning things that I should've already

learnt.

Everyone I ever knew was so kind and coy.

I was with a girl, but it felt like I was with a boy.

I can't even remember...if we were lovers, or if I just

wanted to

But I held her in my arms,

I held her in my arms

I held her in my arms; but it wasn't you

I will not kill the one thing I love

In this world of wreckage, I look above.

I say, "Help me, Lord, help me understand;

What it means to be a boy and what it means to be a

man."

I can't even remember if we were lovers, or if I just

wanted to

But I held her in my arms,

I held her in my arms

I held her in my arms; but it wasn't you

I'm gnawing on the knowledge that I have been burnt.

And I'm learning things that I should've already

learnt.

Everyone I ever knew was so kind and coy.

I was with a girl, but it felt like I was with a boy.

(2x)I can't even remember...if we were lovers, or if I

just wanted to

But I held her in my arms,

I held her in my arms

I held her in my arms; but it wasn't you
