In Too Deep: A Heart's Confession by Kaleb Glover
Lyrics
I know I'm long winded
I acknowledge that I tend to express myself at length.
In the words I say and songs I write to you
I express my thoughts through words and songs dedicated to you.
And half the time I apologize when I don't need to
I often apologize unnecessarily, perhaps out of habit.
But I have never been where I am
I am currently in an unfamiliar emotional state.
I have never put my heart in someone else's hands
I've never entrusted my heart to someone else before.
And I'm afraid
I am feeling fearful.
It's nothing that you've said or done to me
Your words or actions may be influencing my emotions.
Or maybe actually it's everything
Everything about you might be affecting me deeply.
And I know that you told me that I can always tell you
You've assured me I can confide in you, but it's intimidating.
But that doesn't mean it doesn't scare me
Your reassurance doesn't eliminate my fear.
I don't trust my thoughts when they're left all alone
I don't trust my unattended thoughts; they tend to be negative.
They have a tendency to find the lowest they can go
My thoughts often gravitate towards the worst outcomes.
So I keep it all inside so I don't turn into an overbearing
I keep my emotions inside to avoid burdening you.
Burden of a person that you have to lay beside
I fear becoming an overwhelming burden to you.
I know I'm Long winded
I acknowledge my tendency to be verbose.
In the words I say and songs I write to you
My expressions and songs to you are often lengthy.
And half the time I apologize when I don't need to
I apologize unnecessarily, a habit I acknowledge.
But I have never been where I am
I find myself in a new emotional territory.
I have never put my heart in someone else's hands
Trusting my heart to another is a new experience.
And I'm afraid
Fear is a prevailing emotion in this situation.
Oh I'm afraid that I'm in way too deep
I fear that I am deeply involved and vulnerable.
Oh I'm afraid that I'm not the man that I should be
I fear I may not be the person I should be in this relationship.
I'm afraid that I'm not the one you need
I am concerned that I may not fulfill your needs.
Oh I'm afraid
Fear is a pervasive emotion in this context.
I almost didn't show you the song that I'm playing
I hesitated to share the song, fearing blame on you.
Because I didn't want you to think that you're the one I'm blaming
I want to avoid making you feel responsible for my thoughts.
For my head and my heart looking past reality
I sometimes let my thoughts ignore reality, possibly due to you.
And saying the worst case is the only explanation
I tend to see the worst-case scenario as the only explanation.
But you're hearing it right now so I guess that I'll be honest
I am being honest about my thoughts right now.
And tell you that my mind has almost always got you on it
My mind is frequently occupied with thoughts of you.
How the days and miles between our conversations feel like lifetimes
The distance between us feels like prolonged periods of time.
I live and die in the silence that comes when we're apart
I experience emotional highs and lows during our separations.
I know I'm Long winded
I recognize my inclination to be verbose.
In the words I say and songs I write to you
My expressions and songs to you are often lengthy.
And I apologize when I apologize when I don't need to
I apologize unnecessarily, acknowledging it as a habit.
But I have never been where I am
I find myself in a new emotional territory.
I have never put my heart in someone else's hands
Trusting my heart to another is a new experience.
