Too Much

I'm always running away
Because you'll take off first
Always turning the page when I'm afraid that our story might burst
Into flames at the thought of you stickin' around
I'm lost and don't want to believe that I'll ever be found

Cause it's terrifying to be loved
To be seen for every good thing that you are
I don't know that I have ever felt enough
I'd rather be too much than let you get that far

I'm always laughing at jokes
If they're at my expense
Tell myself I don't mind
Tell myself it makes sense
Go through all of the pain
If it brings them some peace
Always putting those "best friends" first
Searching for a release

And it's terrifying to be loved
To be seen for every good thing that you are
I don't know that I have ever felt enough
I'd rather be too much than let you get that far

Fast paced heart rate for so long has me all worn out
Wish I could be surprised there's something left to write about
Are you the one who's gonna hear me when I shout & I cry
You know I can't deny

That I'm so terrified of being loved
You see me for every good thing that I am
Always too much, never enough
But I guess I'll listen when you ask me to take your hand
