Other Arms

(Music, Lyrics: George Alceos)
You woke me up twice tonight
you were speaking in your sleep and l was worried
you said that you could not hide any longer
and that you could not tell the truth
I've asked you whether
you've ever loved me
and you murmured no
l got up and hurriedly left
And now other pairs of arms clasp you
and you kiss other lips
now everything resembles
a knife ready to pierce me
I stayed up twice again
in the darkness, l lay awake
And your image came hurriedly back
to torture me in the dark
I asked and you answered
because l wanted to know if you've loved me
And your image came hurriedly back
to torture me in the dark
And now other pairs of arms clasp you
and you kiss other lips
now everything resembles
a knife ready to pierce me
