These Arms
It was perfect before I opened the door
And let all the walls down on me
Didn’t know what you was holding in store
You showed me sweetness, babe, prayed on my weaknesses, baby
I’ve seen this before, in the movies for sure
And I know how it ends, I’m just tryna’ pretend
That the story has changed and the script’s rearranged
But it’s obviously not what I want to be
Now that my mind’s forgotten you, my eyes ain’t eyeing you
And I ain’t trying to, I can’t help it
These arms, now these arms, now these arms will not let you
These arms, now these arms, now these arms will not let you go
These arms won’t let you go
These arms won’t let you go
I let you into my life, I thought you were right
I thought you were worth it, but I should’ve known
Mama warned me ‘bout your type
Cause I saw all the signs, I wish I could rewind it
I’ve seen this before, in the movies for sure
And I know how it ends, I’m just tryna’ pretend
That the story has changed and the script’s rearranged
But it’s obviously not what I want to be
Now that my mind’s forgotten you, my eyes ain’t eyeing you
And I ain’t trying to, I can’t help it
These arms, now these arms, now these arms will not let you
These arms, now these arms, now these arms will not let you go
These arms won’t let you go
These arms won’t let you go
These arms won’t let you go
I don’t even feel it, don’t think that I need it
I thought I could let you go
And now I’m struggling to leave it, fingers won’t release it
I just need to let you know
Now that my mind’s forgotten you, my eyes ain’t eyeing you
And I ain’t trying to, I can’t help it
These arms, now these arms, now these arms will not let you
These arms, now these arms, now these arms will not let you go
Now that my mind’s forgotten you, my eyes ain’t eyeing you
And I ain’t trying to, I can’t help it
These arms, now these arms, now these arms will not let you
These arms, now these arms, now these arms will not let you go
These arms won’t let you go
These arms won’t let you go
These arms won’t let you go
