Too Much
Navigating Silence: The Unspoken Struggle in Too Much by The Medium Blue
Lyrics
How come everybody knows about the conversation we haven't had?
Expressing confusion about others being aware of a conversation that hasn't taken place yet.
Maybe next time there's a secret for me, I'll be the first to know
Hoping to be informed about secrets firsthand in the future.
Plenty of opinions of what all I should do
Various opinions on what actions to take, likely received from others.
And I heard them all from strangers, baby, none of them from you
Not receiving advice or input directly from the person involved, creating a sense of distance.
We don't talk anymore, and I know you say you're busy
Acknowledging a lack of communication, with an understanding that the other person claims to be busy.
We don't talk anymore, and I think I'm going crazy
Feeling a sense of distress or frustration due to the lack of communication.
But, I want love
Expressing a desire for love despite the challenges in the relationship.
Yeah I know that I'm a little bit too much, I've heard you mention it
Acknowledging self-awareness of being perceived as "too much" and having heard it from the other person.
It sucks the amount of time we spent getting close so you could pull away
Expressing disappointment in the amount of time invested in getting close, only to experience withdrawal.
It'll be a long way back to that
Anticipating a difficult journey back to a positive state in the relationship.
Gonna have to fill the gaps and retrace our steps
Recognizing the need to revisit and retrace the steps taken in the relationship.
Making others jealous of our inside jokes, I told my friends you were the one
Previously bragging about the relationship, now feeling that the connection is not as exciting.
Now the words I use are all so boring, and your's are few
Noticing a shift in the quality of communication, with words becoming mundane and few.
How'd we go from saying 'I love you' to 'I'm fine'?
Reflecting on the decline from expressing love to superficial exchanges like "I'm fine."
To go from what we had to strangers, baby, at the end of the line
Feeling estranged, going from a deep connection to being like strangers at the end of the line.
We don't talk anymore, and I know you say you're busy
Reiterating the lack of communication and the other person's claim of being busy.
We don't talk anymore, and I think I'm going crazy
Expressing a sense of emotional turmoil due to the ongoing lack of communication.
But, I want love.
Reiterating the desire for love despite the challenges faced in the relationship.
Yeah I know that I'm a little bit too much, I've heard you mention it
Acknowledging the awareness of being perceived as "too much."
It sucks the amount of time we spent getting close so you could pull away
Highlighting the frustration of investing time in closeness only to experience withdrawal.
It'll be a long way back to that
Acknowledging the challenging journey ahead to restore the relationship.
Gonna have to fill the gaps and retrace our steps
Recognizing the need to bridge the gaps and revisit the past actions to move forward.
