Chris Cornell – Arms Around Your Love Lyrics 16 years ago
For me, this song is about not being honest with the person you are/were with. I just broke up with my girlfriend, and this song makes perfect sense to me. I put her on hold, i shouldnt have, but i didnt really have a choice. and so all the things i could have said, i never did. until we broke up - coming clean feels so dangerous, just a little bit would have been enough, but you never said all the words caught in your head. but by then it was too late. I always thought she would hang around for the ride, you know, see me/us through everything, but i guess this is not the case. and now she's doing everything i hate, and showing more of the person i didnt like. however, i still love her. or think i do. two days after we broke up, she found herself a new man, and things for her are pretty awesome. but she's making me pay for it, and im paying for it hard. and i told her i didnt mind, but, like chris wrote, you know everything you've left behind.
but you know, i think there's also the other side to this song. the side where even though she has someone else now, youre angry with her for not being there for the ride, supporting you when you need most, and maybe breaking up was the best thing to happen.
at least i can see the other side to it.
but maybe thats just me.
