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
