Heaven In Your Arms
R.J.'s Latest Arrival Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I thought I found heaven in your arms
And I thought I found ecstasy on your lips

Laying in your arms that felt just like home
And kissing you lips made me feel like I could fly

But it turns out your arms yeah they were just a prison
And it turns out your lips were covered in poison

And it turns out you weren't good for me
No it turns out that you aren't good for me

And you ripped my heart to pieces
You tore it out and threw it on the floor

And you treated me like I was worthless
You used me and threw me in the trash

And every moment I'd spend thinking of you
And every day I told you how I loved you

And every night when I would lie in bed
I'd think about being with you forever

But I guess you didn't feel the same
Cause you left me broken and in pain

And I wish we were forever
Cause I miss being together

But it turns out your arms yeah they were just a prison
And it turns out your lips were covered in poison

And it turns out you weren't good for me
No it turns out that you aren't good for me

And you ripped my heart to pieces
You tore it out and threw it on the floor

And you treated me like I was worthless
You used me and threw me in the trash

And all I wanted was for you to love me
But you had no love left in your heart

No the love in your heart wasn't for me
You threw me away and went to him

Was I not enough for you
After everything we went through
Was I not enough for you

But it turns out your arms yeah they were just a prison
And it turns out your lips were covered in poison

And it turns out you weren't good for me
No it turns out that you aren't good for me

And you ripped my heart to pieces
You tore it out and threw it on the floor





And you treated me like I was worthless
You used me and threw me in the trash

Line by Line Meaning

And I thought I found heaven in your arms
I believed that being in your arms was a blissful, perfect experience


And I thought I found ecstasy on your lips
Kissing you made me feel intense pleasure and joy


Laying in your arms that felt just like home
Being close to you felt comfortable and familiar


And kissing your lips made me feel like I could fly
Kissing you made me feel light and free, like I could soar in the sky


But it turns out your arms yeah they were just a prison
Being in your arms was actually restrictive and confining


And it turns out your lips were covered in poison
Your words and actions were harmful and destructive to me


And you weren't good for me
You caused me pain and harm, and were not a positive influence in my life


And you ripped my heart to pieces
You caused me deep emotional pain and hurt


You tore it out and threw it on the floor
You completely destroyed my heart and discarded it like it was worthless


And you treated me like I was worthless
You devalued and disrespected me, making me feel unimportant and unwanted


And every moment I'd spend thinking of you
I would constantly think about you and our relationship


And every day I told you how I loved you
I expressed my love for you every day


And every night when I would lie in bed
Before falling asleep, I would think about you and our future together


I'd think about being with you forever
I imagined spending the rest of my life with you


But I guess you didn't feel the same
You did not share my feelings or desires for our relationship


Cause you left me broken and in pain
You ended our relationship, leaving me emotionally damaged and hurting


And I wish we were forever
I wish our relationship could have lasted forever


Cause I miss being together
I miss the closeness and connection we had when we were together


And all I wanted was for you to love me
My biggest desire was for you to return my love and affection


But you had no love left in your heart
You did not have any love to give to me, or our relationship


No the love in your heart wasn't for me
The love you had was for someone else, not me


You threw me away and went to him
You left me behind and pursued a relationship with someone else


Was I not enough for you
I questioned whether I was inadequate or insufficient for you


After everything we went through
Despite all the experiences and challenges we faced together


And you treated me like I was worthless
You made me feel unimportant and insignificant, with no value


You used me and threw me in the trash
You took advantage of me for your own benefit, then discarded me like garbage

Its crazy because I met them while they were still like a garage type band. They lived on our block on Fenmore Street in Detroit Michigan... I will never forget that because they gave us free albums of their music, an awesome experience...
