Hands Up!

I was hoping I would find you hear

But instead I found myself struck dumb

By the ease with which you could say no

And you can't shoot me my hands are up

My hands are where you can see

And you can trust me my hands are up

My hands are up for all to see

And I know you meant no harm to me

But it feels like cold hands round my neck

Getting tighter with each draw of breath

And I'm walking with my hands above my head

It's what you said

It's how you wanted it to be

Don't ask me why
