Undershare (feat. ELIO)

I bite my tongue

While you spill your guts

As you recall the time when your dad got so drunk he almost left your mom

Then you look my way

But I don't respond

'Cause I'm not that brave, so I carry the weight of saying nothing at all

'Cause I'm an undersharer

An over-carer

Twenty something nervous wreck

I wanna meet your parents and

Hold your hand

But I'm holding my breath instead

There's so much that I should say but I don't

And I know the truth stings so I joke

'Cause even on my good days I'm still broken

I wish you'd notice what goes unspoken

I wanna be the one you understand

To know me like you know the back of your hand

'Cause even on my worst days when I'm not open

I hope you notice what goes unspoken

Can't read your mind

Even though I try

Know it's hard to unpack

So I laid out my baggage

Hoping you would reply

But you're an undersharer

An over-carer

Always tend to second guess

It's not an intervention

Just a suggestion

That saying more might hurt you less

There's so much that I should say but I don't

And I know the truth stings so I joke

'Cause even on my good days I'm still broken

I wish you'd notice what goes unspoken

I wanna be the one you understand

To know me like you know the back of your hand

'Cause even on my worst days when I'm not open

I hope you notice what goes unspoken

'Cause I'm an undersharer

An over-carer

Twenty something nervous wreck

It's not an intervention

Just a suggestion

That saying more might hurt you less
