i've seen that chapter in your eyes
it will tear us apart
something i don't understand
has taken hold of you
and made you less than a man

now here is open space
that was filled with you
that was filled with you
solitude is the only answer
to disconnect will be my shelter

time is running out on you
time won't be abused
abused abused abused

if only it were true
i'd be in love with you
if only you cared
i would throw my arms out
i would throw my arms out

you called me a nutter on the phone
you have watched me die with the secrets you have told
it's the end of us
it's the end of us

pride is getting in your way
it's only time that can truly say
can say can say can say

if only you knew
when you're beaten black and blue
when you come to care
i will throw my arms out
i will throw my arms out
