My Arms

2 0 0
                                    

I offer a warm embrace, kisses on your feet
You mistake my arms for arms, a gun to your cheek
And my plea is a robbery, taking you for dirt
Demanding affection otherwise someone's gonna get hurt

My love is blasphemous, even though you don't believe
My words are a gas furnace, clogged by your ask to leave
Again, I offer a warm embrace, kisses before bed
You mistake my arms for arms, pistol to your head

All I ever wanted was to love you, to be loved
All you ever wanted was to love me, to be loved
All I ever wanted was to love you, to be loved
All you ever wanted was to love me when you can't

I like to talk a big game
But I'm the only one who's gonna play
You won't be in the stands
You won't be watching from far away
It's just on in the back of a bar
And you're taking down the shots so far
You don't bet on my team
You just say "go on" when you believe in another
