The Script - Arms Open (Official Video) - YouTube

I grew up in a very violent home and...

um, from which I was taken out at 14 and then put into the system

My mother wasn't able to keep me because she was doing...

she was on drugs when I was born

When I turned maybe about 15 my Dad passed away

I remember when the social worker went to go pick me up from my house she was just kinda like,

"oh you have to pack something for you and your daughter"

And then they took me to like this home

and they let my daughter stay there the first night with me

And then the next night they were all like,

"oh if we can't find a house that is willing to take you and your daughter

you guys might have to go into different homes"

Nobody else wants you. You have nowhere else to go

So they just put me in a foster home

I can't unfeel your pain

I can't undo what's done

I can't send back the rain

But if I could I would

My love, my arms are open

So when you feel like you can't take another round of being broken

My arms are open

And when you're losing faith and every door around you keeps on closing

My arms are open

I can't uncry your tears

I can't rewind the time

I can't unsay what's said

In your crazy life

My love, my arms are open

Oh, and when you're cursing at the sky

And thinking, "lord, you must be joking"

My arms are open

And, when you're looking in the mirror

Thinking that, "my life is over"

My arms are open

My arms are open (oh, oh)

My arms are open (oh, oh)

My arms are open (oh, oh)

My arms are open (oh, oh)

So let me do to you

What you've always done for me

And let me be the ground

Underneath your feet

I can't unfeel your pain

I can't undo what's done

I can't send back the rain

But if I could I would

My love, my arms are open

My arms are open (oh, oh)

My arms are open (oh, oh)

My arms are open (oh, oh)

My arms are open (oh, oh)

I will be standing here

I will be by your side

You see me loud and clear

With my arms open wide

I will be standing here

I will be by your side

You see me loud and clear

With my arms open wide

My arms are open

You guys are so nice

You guys are so nice
