In Her Arms

Where were the days of innocent youth,
When the adults lie and hide the awful truth?
Where were the days of laughter and joys,
When you can still be a child, and play with your toys?

Growing up in a world filled with anger and violence
She went through too much, suffering in silence.
I tried to release the demons she had
But feeling her depression just made me more mad

I ran away by possessing my mind
Hoping each hit would make so blind
Her sorrow, my problems, are too much for her to take
They beat her, consume her, leave her to break.

I need that next hit, its what I live for
I told her Id stop, but I still need some more
Sniffing, smoking, injecting it too
I tried to stop, but I dont know how to.

She helped me a lot, helped me to quit
But I hid from her eyes, and light my next hit
I want her to hold me right in her arms
Thats where I want to be, just in her arms

I see what I cause, the pain in her eyes
So I tried to be strong, I tried to be wise
It didnt last that long, seduced in a week or two
I am so sorry for your pain, I really did not mean to.

Will you ever forgive this stupid mistake?
I tried so hard damn it, believe me for God's sake!
Sorry I didnt mean it, I didnt mean to shout
Your trying to believe me, but I can see that doubt

I love you so much and selfish I may be,
But I cant take you pain, it hurts me, you see?
Her hurt, her anger, her sorrow and her pain
Makes me go crazy, its driving me insane

Then a day came too soon, it all went out of line
But dont worry my girl, one day youll be fine
We're all in one room, so happy so high
I kept on going, flying up into the sky.

I didnt know when to stop, you kept begging lets go
I laughed in your face, telling you no.
If you just held me now, held me in your arms,
I would listen to you now, if I was in your arms.

You sat on the side, shaking in you skin
While I drew my lines, long deep ad thin.
I had my last hit, and saw you smile
Damn your so beautiful, its been such a while.

He started to shake, losing control
His soul escapes away from his life he just stole.
She runs to his body, begging and pleading
White liquid from his mouth, his nose starts bleeding

What have I just done? She is in more pain
I see her eyes now, she'll never be the same again
She calls out my name, I try call her back
I cant find the words to say, cause my voice I now lack

My soul goes back in, in time to say
"Please baby, sing, just make my day"
She sings me a song, 'Tears in Heaven', I hear
She sings so well, so gentle, so dear.

Its happening again, my soul leaves your world
But remember this always, I love you my girl.
You helped so much, you tried and tried
Im sorry my baby, Im sorry I died.

She cries out loud, while he fades away
She has nothing left, nothing left to say
This is where he wants to be, just in her arms
This is where he died, you see, right in her arms.
