With her hands tied
By her split life
And in pain
Uncertain
She let him
Go
She tried to resist it
From the self of her prison
Injustice on every end
Was forcing her hand
Don't keep your love at arm's length
Afraid to give your heart away to love
Cause though an open heart may
Welcome pain
It's worth it
Cause love is never wasted
With her hands tied
By compassion's cry
And with feigned
Assurance
She welcomed
Him
Though she was tempted
To settle for kindness
She stayed to the end of it
Held open her hands
Don't keep your love at arm's length
Afraid of give your heart away to love
Cause though an open heart may
Welcome pain
It's worth it
Cause love is never wasted
So when the time came
He was torn between
Mother arms
That welcomed
And held him
As one
