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 a under-sharer An over-carer 20-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 stinks so I choke '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 a under-sharer And over-carer This ain't a 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 stinks so I choke '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 a under-sharer An over-carer 20-something, nervous wreck It's not an intervention Just a suggestion That saying more might hurt you less
