I Held Her In My Arms

I Held Her In My Arms

I'm gnawing on the knowledge that I have been burnt

And I'm learning things that I should've already learnt

Everyone I ever knew was so kind and coy

I was with a girl, but it felt like I was with a boy

I can't even remember if we were lovers, or if I just wanted to

But I held her in my arms, I held her in my arms

I held her in my arms but it wasn't you

I will not kill the one thing I love

In this world of wreckage, I look above

Help me, Lord, help me understand

What it means to be a boy and what it means to be a man

I can't even remember if we were lovers, or if I just wanted to

But I held her in my arms, I held her in my arms

I held her in my arms but it wasn't you
