Too Much - Lael Summer

When I was a child

Sometimes I would cry

Words hurt me more than a fall ever could

They told me I was just too sensitive

This life's not fit for the thin skinned

So I learned to be ashamed

Tried so hard to change

Thought I must be crippled in some way

'Cause I feel too much and I think too much

Is there space enough for all of us

I stress too much and I care too much

Well we've all got a burden to bear

I guess they were right

I really suffered oh

Turns out I couldn't hold the weight of the world

Grew up thinkin' that I was weak

A self-fulfilling prophecy

The feelings I denied

To empty my insides

Never ever really went away

'Cause I feel too much and I think too much

Is there space enough for all of us

I stress too much and I care too much

Well we've all got a burden to bear

We've all got a burden to bear

It's better to apologize

Before I can be criticized

Hoping that nobody will see

Was it worth the sacrifice

To eat myself alive

Or is there a place

Is there a space

For people

Like me

'Cause I stress too much and I care too much

Well we've all got a burden to bear

Well we've all got a burden to bear

Is there space enough for all of us

I stress too much and I care too much

'Cause I feel too much and I think too much

Is there space enough for all of us

I stress too much and I care too much

Well we've all got a burden to bear

'Cause I feel and I think
