[Verse 1]
You said my love feels like a flood
I only meant to fill the cracks
I talk in tidal waves and jokes
Then wonder why you never text me back
I memorize the way you breathe
Then act like I don't even care
Build a fortress out of sarcasm
And dare you to climb the stairs
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time you lean in close
I flinch like it's a knife
Who taught me that affection
Is the same thing as a fight?
[Chorus]
I love too much to hold
So I throw you to the cold
Say "I'm fine
Just go"
When I need you the most
I burn every bridge
Then stand in the smoke
Screaming
"Why am I alone?"
I love too much to hold
Too much
Too much to hold
[Verse 2]
You catch the tremor in my hands
I laugh it off and pull away
I turn your kindness into debt
Then hate myself the rest of the day
I say "I'm better on my own"
Like a dare you won't accept
Then twist the silence into proof
That I'm easy to forget
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time you reach for me
I pull the fire alarm
Fill the hallway up with panic
Just to feel you in my arms
[Chorus]
I love too much to hold
So I throw you to the cold
Say "I'm fine
Just go"
When I need you the most
I burn every bridge
Then stand in the smoke
Screaming
"Why am I alone?"
I love too much to hold
Too much
Too much to hold
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm the broken glass
You keep stepping on at night
Cut you just for caring
Then ask you why you left the light
I don't wanna be this way
But wanting never made it right
I'm sorry that I taught you
That my distance equals "try"
[Chorus]
I love too much to hold
So I throw you to the cold
Say "I'm fine
Just go"
When I need you the most
I burn every bridge
Then stand in the smoke
Screaming
"Why am I alone?"
I love too much to hold
Too much
Too much to hold
(too much, too much)
I love too much to hold
