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 me and of you, 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 as the tears hid your face 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 TURN AROUND]

BRIDGE

I think I’ll lighten up my life today.

Take up a hobby, maybe catch some rays.

Living alone is the best way to get strong.

VERSE

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

If there’s another love for me to hold,

then maybe it’ll be soon I'll be makin' some room in these empty arms.

You know that it’ll be soon I'll be makin' some room in these empty arms.

Yeah, it'll be soon I'll be makin' some room in these empty arms.
