More Than I Could Chew
Biting off More: Unraveling the Emotions in Batya Belle's Song
Lyrics
I think I bit off more than I could chew
I've taken on more than I can handle or manage.
Took all your pieces and became the glue
I gathered all your fragments and tried to hold things together.
But I hate the feeling of drifting from you
I dislike the sensation of growing distant from you.
The things that you tell me are new
The information you share with me is unfamiliar or unexpected.
I wasn't ready I wasn't prepared
I wasn't mentally or emotionally prepared for this.
To find someone who I could care about
I didn't expect to find someone I could genuinely care about.
I can't blame you for liking the silence
I don't blame you for enjoying the quiet, but it's too silent now.
But right now it's too quiet
The current silence is uncomfortable.
And I'll take back my word
I retract my promise or commitment.
To always heal your hurt
I won't always be there to mend your emotional wounds.
Don't want to intrude
I don't want to interfere.
On whatever's keeping you from me
Something is keeping you away from me.
Something has got your attention for sure
There is something that has captured your attention.
Something or someone I don't know anymore
It could be a person or something unfamiliar to me.
I couldn't hold you to it I couldn't take your words
I couldn't hold you to your promises, as your words were unclear.
Cause they were slurred
Because your words were muddled or unclear.
And I can't take back the time
I can't undo the time you took away from my life.
You took right off my life
You've taken a significant portion of my time.
Swear I tried my best
I genuinely tried my best.
All you had to do was the rest
All you had to do was the remaining part for me.
For me
Complete the unfinished part for my sake.
Why try anymore
Why bother trying anymore?
I still smell like the clothes you wore
I still carry the scent of the clothes you wore.
But I find it hard to feel
It's difficult for me to genuinely feel angry at you.
Mad at you for real
Considering the circumstances, it's hard to be mad at you.
I think I bit off more than I could chew
I've taken on more than I can handle, again.
Took all your pieces and became the glue
I gathered all your pieces and tried to be the adhesive once more.
But I hate the feeling of drifting from you
I dislike the feeling of growing apart from you.
