Various Artists - Arms Open Wide lyrics

[Verse 1] Every day's the same Can't get out of bed Crazy thoughts are rushing in my head I said I'd never take my life But I had the knife And I'm like "f** it, let me Shift away my life of lies" So I sniffed and cried Dealing with my problems Which are on the rise like the crime in Tottenham Then I seat in my zone Then I feel better alone On my Jack-Dones Trying to find a way out of this world No-one Knows how I feel deep down inside Many nights I've cried, nobody around me to confide in And no-one can identify with what I'm really fighting It's bigger than the drug related problem I'm hiding [Hook] So I looked inside something then cried 'You're not a kid no more, kiss your kidulthood goodnight' So I didn't cry and then when I opened up my eyes Adulthood was waiting for me, arms open wide 'Now you've waited for days These people could be out of here so quickly, this city takes you in here so quickly, open arms and call you [Verse 2] So im Sitting On This Chair Battling myself Phone to my ear But it goes to voicemail Lips start to quiver My face says help As my eyes turn red And then begin to swell I leave a little message Kinda spilling out my heart But I word it when I come across like "I don't give a f**" And its such a bait Life But I do it on the sly And I end it like 'Call me if you want 'Kay bye' Practice sitting on my Jet Jones Lighting up a cigarette And then tears start to flow Coke on the table, like no kick it over, Rah! and this is how my life's supposed to go [Hook] So I looked inside something then cried 'You're not a kid no more, kiss your kidulthood goodnight' So I didn't cry and then when I opened up my eyes Adulthood was waiting for me, arms open wide Now you've waited for days These people could be out of here so quickly, it creeps you up so quickly, this city takes you in here so quickly, open arms and call you and holds you [Verse 3] So What's it goin' to take for me to turn my life around? Take my finger out of my arse And finally sort it out I just need someone to help me up When I fall down And help me when I'm on my knees And lift me off the ground (ground, ground, ground) I'm just looking for a way out To the point I'm never looking back And I'll stay out No longer wishing I could trade places for a day out, in another man's shoes Cause I hate my life day out So it's now or never Give-up buddy and go and get her Thats out to better me than instead of being like whatever I hate to admit it, but I can't be like this forever, man I really wanna change It's time to get my life together [Hook] So I looked inside something then cried 'You're not a kid no more, kiss your kidulthood goodnight' So I didn't cry and then when I opened up my eyes Adulthood was waiting for me, arms open wide Now you've waited for days These people could be out of here so quickly, it creeps you up so quickly, this city takes you in here so quickly, open arms and call you and holds you
