Sheltered in My Arms

You wore his promises like a heavy winter coat Now you're choking on the words caught in your throat He sold you paradise with a silver-plated tongue Left you wandering in the cold before your song was sung You trace the empty spaces where his shadow used to stay Blaming your own trusting heart for leading you astray The letters that he wrote you are burning in the grate And you're sitting in the quiet, learning how to hate. Just a pawn in his grand design, you fell for his careful grace. All those beautiful lies he whispered left a chill upon your face. Shattered glass on the hardwood floor reflects your tear-stained eyes. Pain is heavy when you're waking up from paradise. Every single heartbeat tries to keep you safe from harm. Rest your weary head now, sheltered in my arms. I'll keep you—sheltered in my arms. I'll keep you—sheltered in my arms. The morning light is harsh against the blinds pulled down too tight You’re shivering from the ghosts that haunted you all night He took your confidence, he took your peace of mind Leaving only wreckage and deception left behind You think you're broken past the point of repair Looking at your reflection, wondering how you got there But the poison in your veins was never yours to own And you don't have to carry all this heavy weight alone. Judging every shadow, you are learning how to heal. All the hurt you're feeling now is shattered, but it's real. Slowly letting go of what you thought you had to bear. Pulling back the curtains to the clean, forgiving air. Every single heartbeat tries to keep you safe from harm. Rest your weary head now, sheltered in my arms. I'll keep you—sheltered in my arms. I'll keep you—sheltered in my arms.
