Arm's Length

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I guess I thought I knew you, but you don't know yourself My heart was on the table, yours was on the shelf You promised me a castle, but all you built were walls I treated you like a king, but even kingdoms fall [Chorus] I couldn't love you into loving me Keeping me should have been easy, but Obviously, it just wasn't easy I gave you water, but I couldn't make you drink Keeping me just within reach Always holding me at arm's length [Verse 2] I tried to pull you closer, but you untied the rope Any chance of closure just went up in smoke You did me a favor, evеn though it hurt I guess even my savior complеx couldn't make it work [Chorus] I couldn't love you into loving me Keeping me should have been easy, but Obviously, it just wasn't easy I gave you water, but I couldn't make you drink Keeping me just within reach Always holding me at arm's length, hmm At arm's length [Bridge] I should have known That forever was never a hill you could die on [Chorus] I couldn't love you into loving me Keeping me should have been easy Obviously, it just wasn't easy for you I gave you water, but I couldn't make you drink Keeping me just within reach Always holding me at arm's length, hmm At arm's length
