You Were Never Too Much

Verse 1

Piano and voice

They told you to turn it downYour laugh, your hair, your broken heartYou cried in the second floor bathroomMissed all of fourth period againAnd nobody came to find you

Pre-Chorus

I wish that I could sit beside youAnd tell you everything I know now

Chorus

You were never too muchYou were the whole damn songThe room was just too smallYou were never too much

Verse 2

You're gonna love so loud it breaksYou're gonna sing it anywayAnd somebody who's sixteen right nowIs gonna sing it back to you

Pre-Chorus

I wish that I could sit beside youAnd tell you everything I know now

Chorus

Strings and drums enter

You were never too muchYou were the whole damn songThe room was just too smallYou were never too much

Bridge

The band drops out, voice alone, then rising

Go cry it out, take up the spaceYou're gonna need that voice someday

Final Chorus

Key change, full band, a long held high note

You were never too muchYou were the whole damn songThe room was just too smallYou were never too muchYou were never too muchYou were the whole damn songThe world was just too smallYou were never too much
