Lyric

In the Warmth of Your Arms

Tera Kira

I knew from the start

I was never supposed to fall for you

But somehow I kept sinking deeper

Maybe I just had no strength to resist

Everyone says you’re gentle

Yet the quiet look you show at times

Catches my heart for reasons I can't name

Though seconds later you’re laughing

Blending right back into the crowd

That mystery drew me in

At first, that was all it was

You had something I could never have

I was only jealous, nothing more

Or so I thought

But being near you, just that alone

Your voice, your warmth, your presence close

Those small moments feel like the sweetest truth

And I breathe, “This is happiness…”

Every time, without fail

Yet I’m not someone who can claim your heart

And you never said I could

So when I’m alone, the feeling strikes me hard

“I wish I had never fallen for you…”

Though I know it’s pointless to think so

When I confessed, you teased me gently

Holding my hand like it meant nothing

Then pulling away as if it was a game

Now your hand in my hair feels natural

The hugs I once begged for come on their own

You call me when something happens

And sometimes we talk for hours

You comfort me when I cry

And rage when something hurts me

We’ve shared more time than anyone else around us

I’m sure of that

Being with you feels like enough

The warmth of your arms was never a lie

Those moments were the happiest I’ve known

But even as your second choice

Your heart has never belonged to me

And maybe it never will

You’re someone I shouldn’t love

And someone too difficult to understand

Yet you keep eating away at my heart

I wish I had known sooner

Still, somewhere inside

I want to believe that at least for a moment

I reached deeper than anyone else

That I comforted you

That we were connected in a purer way

In dreams I ask you over and over:

“Was it all one‑sided?”

But the answer never comes

Maybe it never will

But being near you, just that alone

Your voice, your warmth, your presence close

Those small moments feel like the sweetest truth

And I breathe, “This is happiness…”

Every time, without fail

And even while I search for

Some beautiful ending with my lips

My heart keeps falling deeper

Every single day

I say I don’t want to be hurt again

Yet I count the days until I see you

Like a flower destined

Never to bloom

Still waiting for spring
