Story behind the song
He cheated. I left. Couldn't trust him after that. Inspired by Kitty Wells, Hank Williams, Webb Pierce and Jimmy Rogers songs I had been playing.
Lyrics
EMPTY ARMS Madeline Preisner
There's been hard times between us and I can't help this feeling of distrust
Every time I see you talkin' to another girl on the street
i'm afraid when Im not with you, you'll go out and find someone new
and i'll be left with only empty arms
Empty arms that long to reach for someone in the night
empty arms that long to feel someone and hold them tight
but if I can't have your love for sure then, I don't want your love no more
I'll live alone with only empty arms
Once I found out about you, being untrue
I can't believe you when you tell me that you care about me
it hurts to live without you but it hurts to live in doubt too
I'll be lonely with only empty arms
Empty arms that long to reach for someone in the night
empty arms that long to feel someone and hold them tight
but if I can't have your love for sure then, I don't want it anymore
I'll live alone with only empty arms
No, if I can't have your love for sure then, I don't want it anymore
I'll be lonely with only empty arms
if I can't have your love for sure then, I don't want it anymore
I'll live alone with only empty arms
