it's breaking my heart the way thing are
maybe it's you who needs to change
maybe it's me who's gone too far
late last night, i'm in my bed
i'm playing back the words you said
take my heart and take my mind
but don't you leave a trace behind
do what you do best and go
too many times i turned away
hoping you'd see through all my fear
so many things i meant to say
if we try, i have no doubt
we have the means to work this out
courage can erase the pain
of all the times we tried in vain
it's easier to turn and run
easier to turn and
run to me when you feel lonely
come to where you're safe and warm
run to me if you need holding
there will be a place in these open arms
even when you said we're through
deep inside i always knew
it's such a waste, it's such a shame
and no one but ourselves to blame
now i know that all this must be
some sick tribute to our trust
baby take a chance and
run to me when you feel lonely
come to where you're safe and warm
run to me if you need holding
there will be a place in these open arms
in these open arms
in these open arms
