Arm's Length

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 I couldn't love you into lovin' me Keepin' me should've been easy, but obviously It just wasn't easy I gave you water, but I couldn't make you drink Keepin' me just within reach, always holdin' me At arm's length 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, even though it hurt I guess even my savior complex couldn't make it work I couldn't love you into lovin' me Keepin' me should've been easy, but obviously It just wasn't easy I gave you water, but I couldn't make you drink Keepin' me just within reach, always holdin' me At arm's length, hm At arm's length I should have known That forever was never a hill you could die on I couldn't love you into lovin' me Keepin' me should've been easy, obviously It just wasn't easy for you I gave you water, but I couldn't make you drink Keepin' me just within reach, always holdin' me At arm's length, hm At arm's length
