Arm's Length Lyrics - Rose Cora Perry

V1: 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 

V2: 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 

Chorus: 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 

V3: 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 

V4: 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 

Chorus: 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? 

V5: 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 my arm's length
