When you were in my arms you'd tremble
Like you would always be right there
You said I always treat you gentle
Never wanna see you hurt again

Thinking back now to the night I met you
Cutting through the room you where such a sight
My head was turned so well I remember
It was like you were in a spotlight

Those Sunday mornings in the kitchen
When you'd sit at my feet and I'd tell you again
How it's better to fight hard than to be apart
Yeah and we both believed it then
And when you were in my arms you'd tremble
Please say you'll always be right there
I'd try to hold your' hand so gentle
Never wanna see you hurt again
Never wanna see you hurt again

Out on a Friday night if your eyes held fear
Well I'd puff my chest and swing my arm
Do those words of mine ring hollow in your' ear?
I swore I'd kill anyone who did you harm
Yeah I would kill anyone who'd do this to you
God, look at what I've done

Weary, seedy and silent
You meant what you said and I felt every line
But I never knew it'd get so violent
Now you don't look me in the eye
And when you're in my arms you tremble
Like you can barely stand it there
Please know I'd always treat you gentle
Never wanna see you hurt again
Never wanna see you hurt again
Now when you're in my arms you tremble...
