Lyrics

Spent the week in bed, staring at a screen
Nurses all around, asking how I’ve been
Feeding me with pills and taking all my blood
Hoping that I’ll live, will they pull the plug?
In a big machine, voices overhead
Telling me “breathe in”, fluid in my chest
My pericardium is in disrepair
Help me hold my heart
My problem is I care too much, I scare too easily
I wear too much of my emotions on my sleeve
Oh fair enough, I’m where I should be
But I care too much. I care too much, I care too much.
Using all my strength not to talk to you
Lock my heart away, for a week or two
When will these drugs work? When will I feel fine?
I just need to rest…
But baby I don’t mind too much I find it’s better
But it’s kind of rough to keep it in and keep it shut
Oh why’s it just when I’m with you I can’t talk?
My mind is mush. I mind too much, I mind too much.
Now they’re yelling and I’ve started bleeding
and it’s filling up the room
Now they’re telling me my heart’s still beating
but it only beats for you
Spent the week in bed, thinking about you
Hurting in my chest, nothing’s really new
Voices in my head, but no-one’s really there
Would it break my heart again, to tell you that I
Care too much, I swear I’m better
But it’s there you touch, the place where all my blood gets pumped
I’m getting just the sense that you don’t need me very much
And all my fears are running up the stairs
And love, I’m where I said I’d be
But I care too much. I care too much, I care too much, I care…
