Too Good to Be True
Too Good to Be True: A Melodic Reflection on Love's Illusions
Lyrics
I bit a little too much
I indulged excessively
More than I could chew
Took on more than I could handle
I strung myself along
I deceived myself by maintaining false hope
On a string of white lies
Based my actions on a series of untruths
I wrote myself a song
Created a song for myself
And said this one's for you
Dedicated the song to someone special
I promised just this one time
Promised only once, but repeated it countless times
For a thousand times
A hyperbolic expression of repetition
I spread myself too thin
Extended myself too thinly
In these last few months
Overcommitted in the recent months
I grew my feathers too fast
Rushed into maturity, facing consequences
And I flew too high
Reached too high, faced the consequences
The part of me that wants you back
A part of me yearns for your return
Probably wants too much
Possibly desiring too much
You felt too good to be true
You seemed unrealistically perfect
And that was probably why
Possibly the reason it felt unreal
I bit a little too much
Repeated from line 1
More than I could chew
Repeated from line 2
I strung myself along
Repeated from line 3
On a string of white lies
Repeated from line 4
I wrote myself a song
Repeated from line 5
And said this one's for you
Repeated from line 6
I promised just this one night
Repeated from line 7
For a hundred nights
Repeated from line 8
I spread myself too thin
Repeated from line 9
In these last few months
Repeated from line 10
I grew my hair out too long
Repeated from line 11
And I got too high
Repeated from line 12
The part of me that wants you back
Repeated from line 13
Probably wants too much
Repeated from line 14
It felt too good to be true
Repeated from line 15
And that was probably why
Repeated from line 16
