Love me at an arms length Don't let me get too close Never see the sun set Spares you Pain when it goes You kept from the fire Still you burn, oh Still your heart's burning up I can tell, it's obvious you're Too afraid to fall in love Still your heart is burning up Would you never Know the secrets Your heart keeps In silence In burning In seasons In love you believe, but You kept me at an arms length Don't let me get too close Never see the sun set Spares you pain when it goes You kept from the fire But still you burn, oh Still your heart's burning up I can tell, it's obvious you're Too afraid to fall in love Still your heart is burning up Still your heart's burning up I can tell, it's obvious you're Too afraid to fall in love Still your heart's burning up I can see the bullet holes You're bleeding out While trying to keep it in control Wanting to change me before you love me Tell me, what's easier Stitching up the wound Or hoping the pressure holds? Tell me who you want now Someone who's perfect? Oh Afraid that I would mirror every flaw that's subliminal Oh, you kept from the fire Still you burn, ah-ah Still your heart's burning up I can tell, it's obvious you're Too afraid to fall in love Still your heart is burning up Still your heart's burning up I can tell, it's obvious you're Too afraid to fall in love Still your heart's burning up
