My Empty Arms

i'm catching on to all the symptoms that you feign
another shot of something warm to numb the pain
let's just be honest and admit we can't go on
you can begin to be yourself once i am gone

your kiss was sweet, like an apricot
i guess i'm not the girl you thought
when you said this would never be undone

your heart was pure, like you and all it's charms
now my empty arms are of no use to me or anyone

i always knew that you deserved much more than me
you are more interesting than i'll ever be
somehow our whole world has gone spinning in reverse
i hope this heartache of mine won't get any worse

your kiss was sweet, like an apricot
i guess i'm not the girl you thought
when you said this would never be undone

your heart was pure, like you and all it's charms
now my empty arms are of no use to me or anyone

will you forget the scent of violets on my skin
i'll never know the safety of your arms again
