At Arm’s Length Lori Lieberman
These harmless damages, tiny aches
Little exits and small escapes
These are just some of the ways
That we keep love at arm’s length
A simple gesture, a little blame
Regrets are spoken a bit too late
And soon there’s nothing left to say
Run away
Is this all we know
It’s hard to say
Just where will we go
You know it, and I know it too
Little heartbreaks
So much love to lose
The slightest jealousy
A smile so faint
The inconsistent but small mistakes
It fits so neat inside this game
To keep our love at arm’s length
A stranger knows you a different way
An hour can feel like half a day
You tell yourself that it’s okay
Run away
Is this all we know
It’s hard to face
Just how far we’ll go
You know it, and I know it too
Little heartbreaks, so much love
