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 wouldn't tie 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
