Lyric

Maybe I love you too much now

I thought that would scare me more

But if this is more than I meant to feel

I don't wanna make it less

Somewhere along the way I noticed

You started mattering more than planned

Not in one dramatic moment

Nothing I could point to when it changed

I just know I think of you more often

Care about the smallest things you say

And every time I think, “Be careful”

I wonder what I'm being careful of

I know why people leave some distance

I know what distance can protect

But every time I try to measure this

The measuring feels wrong instead

Maybe I love you too much

Maybe that's a strange thing to admit

But I don't wanna keep a little back

Just to say I handled this well

I don't need to love you carefully

Just because careful might hurt less

If this feeling keeps on growing

I think I'm gonna let it

There are days I catch the difference

Between the way I loved you then and now

What used to feel like something lovely

Means so much more to me somehow

And yes, that gives you room to hurt me

More than when this first began

But I don't want to call that danger

Every time somebody starts to matter

I could keep one part untouched

Something love could never reach

But I don't know why I'd save it

From the person I want it to meet

Maybe I love you too much

Maybe that's a strange thing to admit

But I don't wanna keep a little back

Just to say I handled this well

I don't need to love you carefully

Just because careful might hurt less

If this feeling keeps on growing

I think I'm gonna let it

How much is too much, anyway?

Who decided where love should stop?

I only know I smile about it

When I notice how much you've come to mean

There's something sweet about discovering

I'm further in than I once knew

Maybe I should find that frightening

Funny, it doesn't feel that way

Maybe I love you too much now

More than I thought I'd let myself

More than when I first could say it

More than I knew was happening

And maybe loving you this deeply

Means there's more that I could lose

But I don't want a smaller feeling

Just to have less left to bruise

I like how much you matter to me

I like that this has gotten deep

I like letting all this tenderness

Be as much as it wants to be

If I keep loving you too much

I think I'm fine with that being true

Maybe I love you too much now

I don't really mind if I do

Maybe it's too much

I don't mind
