Arms Around My Soul

Did you make a mistake telling me to go to hell
And now all you want to shout is that you wish me well
After all the evidence to the contrary
Now you hold vigils and pray to Mother Mary
But you don’t find any answers there
At least not the ones that make you care
And I spilled truth like ink
All over the kitchen sink
And you balked at its black, viscous flavour
And I looked at you as though you were my saviour
But you only saw the war
And you crucified me for
What you sought to keep
Now it haunts you in your sleep
And you can’t get my voice out of your mind
It whispers to you as to what you’ve left behind
And your bed is warm
But you look so forlorn
At the shape that sleeps beside you in the sheets
And you wonder if two people ever meet
On a level playing field
And I feel you hate me so I yield
To the tide of going away
It isn’t indifference that made me sway
And let the ribbon float into the air
It’s because I loved the man that was there
