Kacey Musgraves 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
