Rose Cora Perry - Arm's Length Lyrics

I don't believe in using the words I love you
For using such words only cheapens my heart
And so instead I would rather just show you
How the touch of your hand turns me so numb

I don't believe in trying to control you
For if you want me, it's up to you to show me so
I know I am one of many who know you
So let's not play games or make plans for unknown

Times in the future
Let's not define we're together
In time, in the future
I don't want to be her, I don't want you as him

I don't believe in using the words I hate you
For using such words only proves there's still care
And so instead I would rather just ignore
When things fall apart, how empty I feel

The problem it seems is that you want to own me
If I felt the same, I would've make my case known
You should know that you're not my one and only
So let's not pretend or make plans for unknown

Times in the future
Do we have to define we're together?
In time, in the future
Why can't we stay just the way that we are?

I don't believe in using the words I love you
For using such words leads to heartbreak and pain
And so instead I would rather just hold you
At arm's length
