An Arm's Distance Away

What is love
And what does it entail
For I am frightened
Scared I shall fail

I'll keep him
An arms distance away
So I won't be so sad
If he decides not to stay

His eyes shine bright
And lips so full
I won't miss him when he leaves
But we all know that's bull

I know he won't stay
I've got a past
I was crazy to think it'd work
Crazy to think it'd last

But when he's with me
My heart skips a beat
And my guard comes down
His greatest defeat

So I have no reason
To be scared of what meets the eye
I'll shine my true color
I won't tell him a lie

And maybe he's right
We'll both have some fun
And as time passes by
Maybe I'll realize he's the one
