Throw your arms around me

Throw you arms around me

I want to love

I long to be loved

Dont let me stand here

Pretending any longer

That I dont ache to be touched

That I dont feel the pain in you

Deeper than anything you could give a voice to

I saw it all go down

I watched from the sidelines helplessly

And in the aftermath life became for me

A straightjacket

I struggled inside

A tightrope walk across an abyss

I feared would swallow me

Trying to pretend

I wasnt terrified

Or drowning

Or contorting with it all

Dont you know how alone I was

After it all went down

Drowning my unknown sorrow in whiskey and wine

Going crazy inside with the love and life

I longed to find a place and person to express with

So now If I stand off by the sidelines

And seem like I don’t care or feel it all

Down deep inside the marrow of my being

Please don’t be fooled

Please baby

Just throw your arms around me
