Empty-Arms

Empty Arms

Lyrics and Music: Ralph Scott and Daniel Leo Simpson

VERSE

I found some boxes and some time today.

Pulled down your pictures, now they're packed away.

So many images of you and me, ever after.

Opened a closet and I made some room.

I closed the door on our short honeymoon.

You wouldn't think letting go was so heavy a load for these empty arms.

CHORUS

These empty arms feel there's nothing more for me to hold onto.

They're heavy with your memories and the pain of losing you.

VERSE

We used to fill each other up with love,

open our hearts but never get enough.

I still remember how I carried all of your fears in my pocket.

When did I find the time to let you down,

and think the grass was greener outside town?

Why did I waste that embrace which left me here with disgrace in these empty arms?

CHORUS

These empty arms feel there's nothing more for me to hold onto.

They're heavy with your memories and the pain of losing you.

[INSTRUMENTAL]

CHORUS

These empty arms feel there's nothing more for me to hold onto.

They're heavy with your memories and the pain of losing you.

VERSE

The future's up ahead or so I'm told.

But without the arms I long to hold,

until my very last breath, I'll carry all my regrets in these empty arms.

Until my very last breath, I'll carry all my regrets in these empty arms.
