With Arms Wide Open (Acoustic)

In the pool of my own blood, My vision fades and blurs. My breathing, hoarse and broken, My heart beats faintly in spurts. But as I lift my weary eyes, I see you standing there. With arms wide open, I fall into your warm embrace. Tears glisten in your eyes— You know the weight of what I’ve done, But you don’t turn away. You understand my pain. The beast cackles from the dark, Proud of the wounds it’s made. I feel so worthless in its wake, Ashamed of how I’ve caved. But turning slightly to my side, I see you standing there. With arms wide open, I fall into your warm embrace. Tears glisten in your eyes— You know the weight of what I’ve done, But you don’t turn away. You understand my pain. I scream into the shadows deep, Now I’ve found my strength again. I know I’m stronger than I seem— With her beside me, I can win. She won’t let me fall or break, Won’t let this monster take me. She holds on tight, won’t let me go. With arms wide open, I fall into your warm embrace. Tears glisten in your eyes— You know the weight of what I’ve done, But you don’t turn away. You understand my pain.
