Christina Perri – Arms Lyrics 11 years ago
It's about a girl who is terrified, so terrified. They aren't together, no, they're simply best friends.

You see, I went through the same thing with my best friend only 2 days ago now. I am just madly in love with this girl, right? She couldn't be more perfect to me, she just couldn't. So I took a weekend to visit her, and she doesn't feel the same way perhaps? I'm not sure, I wish she was lying to me; but she told me we couldn't see each other any longer. Why? Because there's a part of me that still bleeds everytime she's thought of. Imagine loving someone so much, for girls: He comes up and wraps his arms around you, and you lay your head back on his chest, you couldn't feel safer right? But what if you're just too close.. So afraid that it'll end in heartbreak and you have shattered someone's heart..

But it's more selfish than that lol.. You don't want the heartache, you don't want to be the reason that person suffers, because they won't just suffer, you will ruin that person. Or would you?

To save his heart from the "true" person you are, you tell him to never see you again. Your safety, gone. His heart, shattered. You cry. He cries. But nobody knows.. Nobody knows. You won't ever know, because you didn't give him that chance to sweep you off your feet.

She wanted to take a break from me, and just be distant because she couldn't stand hurting me. I could feel the attachment and the resentment, it was tangible. She made me the happiest and most depressed person ever haha.. I couldn't have been happier to hold her in my arms, and couldn't have been more depressed to see her break away and turn her head.. Just to look me in the face with those morbid eyes, those eyes that just said, "No. You and I.. This.. Could -never- happen."

It was world shattering, every single time. So she asked for a break, and I said no, and let her go because I couldn't take the torture anymore.. We'd been down this road before.. I just became so tired of being the one that catches her when she's falling for some other guy that wants nothing from her... I bled and bled, and bled; she can't make me bleed if I'm alone; the bleeding will stop once there's nothing left to bleed. All there's left is a gaping hole.

Interesting to hear it from the guy's point of view isn't it? I decided to look up the meaning because it couldn't have been more perfect for everything that happened, four long, beautiful, painful years of loving my best friend. It's sad to see she couldn't reciprocate the love I have for her, but I believe it's easier for me to let her go...
