“Strong Arm Broken” is about Sevendust drummer Morgan Rose’s divorce with his ex-wife Terri Harrison, who cheated on him, an incident he discovered in the middle of a tour.
[Verse 1: Lajon Witherspoon]
The stare that cuts through me
Burnin' a hole in me
Givin' the answers I've been looking for
Your newfound love for kickin' me when I'm down
Has given me the hate to finally let you know
[Pre-Chrous: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose, & John Connolly]
(I don't believe anything you ever told me)
You lost your soul
Take another chance
(It's the last time you'll fuck me)
[Chorus: Clint Lowery, Lajon Witherspoon, & Morgan Rose]
Strong arm broken, broken
(There will be) No words spoken
Speakin' nothin'
Strong arm broken, strong arm broken
Strong arm broken
[Verse 2: Lajon Witherspoon & Clint Lowery]
You sold out instantly, killin' my sympathy
Bitin' the hand that fed the dog so long
The black heart hidin' behind your hollow eyes
Will never save you (From the place you're headed for)
[Pre-Chrous: Lajon Witherspoon, Morgan Rose, & John Connolly]
(I can't believe that I ever let you hurt me)
You lost control
(Time to say goodbye)
(It's the last time you'll fuck me)
[Chorus: Clint Lowery, Lajon Witherspoon, & Morgan Rose]
Strong arm broken, broken
(There will be) No words spoken
Speakin' nothin'
Strong arm broken, strong arm broken
Strong arm broken
[Guitar Solo: Clint Lowery]
[Chorus: Clint Lowery, Lajon Witherspoon, & Morgan Rose]
Strong arm broken, broken
(There will be) No words spoken
Speakin' nothin'
Strong arm broken, strong arm broken
Strong arm broken
[Outro: Lajon Witherspoon]
Strong arm broken
Strong arm broken
