You keep me at arm's length because I'm not enough for you
You keep me at arm's length because you don't know if I'm what you need, but you don't want to lose me either
You keep me at arm's length so that if I stab you in the back, you'll see it coming
You keep me at arm's length because you've built up a wall that will only allow parts of me in
You hold me at a distance so that when your insecurities put space between us, you won't even notice
You hold me at a distance because you're scared that I'm exactly what you're looking for
But what you don't realize is that pushing me away only makes me want to fight for you more
With every unspoken word that falls between us
I lose respect
Don't show me you care only to take it away when a better opportunity comes along
Don't tell me I can come to you with my problems only to become one of them
Of course you want more than what I can offer because good is never good enough
If you deserve happiness
What do I deserve?
