Lyrics of Arms by Christina Perri
verse
I never thought that you′d be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start
chorus
You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I′m home
verse
How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I′ll drown
chorus
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, ′cause I'm already falling
I′ll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
verse
The world is coming down on me and I can′t find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I′m alone
You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
chorus
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I′m already falling
I′ll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
verse
I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I′ve never opened up
I've never truly loved
′Till you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
chorus
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, ′cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I′m home
You put your arms around me and I′m home
Writer(s): David Hodges, Christina Perri
