Like a knife to the chest when you grinned and said
That I'm easy to please
'Cause I've been told that I'm difficult
Since I learned how to speak

Were you lying just to save me the trouble?
I'll keep quiet just to stay in your bubble

I could try to change
But it seems too easy I'd hate
To get your hopes up babe
Do you blame
Me for keeping you at arms length
Just wanna keep you sane

Don't think too hard
Pick me apart
You won't get too far
I've had a head start

You wear me down like a stone
Until my edges soften
Like the one you had as a kid
That lived in your favourite pocket

Are you trying to wait it out?
Play the long game but you're losing now

I could try to change
But it seems too easy I'd hate
To get your hopes up babe
Do you blame
Me for keeping you at arms length
Just wanna keep you sane

Will you wait for me til I stop this
You know I do it on purpose
I don't wanna be so guarded

I could try to change
But it seems too easy I'd hate
To get your hopes up babe
Do you blame
Me for keeping you at arms length
Just wanna keep you

It isn't the same
And it's your decision to make
Whether you leave or stay
Do you blame
Me for keeping you out of my way
Just wanna keep you sane
