In the Arms of Another

I don’t eat or sleep.

my shadow the only company I keep.

She’s in the arms of another man…

…in the arms of another man…

…it used to be me.

 

I deserve all the grief that I get,

I let her go, now riddled with regret

She’s in the arms of another man…

…in the arms of another man…

…it should be me.

 

After all I did and all I said,

casual neglect,

I wouldn’t blame her,

I don’t blame her.

After all I did and all I said,

casual neglect,

I wouldn’t blame her,

I don’t blame her.

 

 

One last liaison in winter,

I thought we were starting over.

She’s in the arms of another man…

…in the arms of another man…

…and the other man is me.

 

Now I come to realize,

when she was kissing me

she was kissing me goodbye.

She’s in the arms of another man…

…in the arms of another man…

…and it won’t be me.

 

After all I did and all I said,

casual neglect,

I wouldn’t blame her,

I don’t blame her.

After all I did and all I said,

casual neglect,

I wouldn’t blame her,

I don’t blame her.

 

I’m still holding on

to a little shred of hope,

it keeps me going,

but when the hope runs out

will I ever love again…?

…love again?

 

I don’t eat or sleep.

my shadow the only company I keep.

She’s in the arms of another man…

…in the arms of another man…

…it used to be me…

…what will be will be…

…could it be again?
