[Verse 1] I learned to make it small Folded up my tears I dimmed the heavy parts For every face that stared They liked the easy me The smile that stayed in place But when the storm came out They stepped back from my waves [Pre-Chorus] You never flinched When I came undone You held the room When I lost my tongue You said, "Come closer" Like it wasn't a test Like all my messy truth Was something you could keep [Chorus] I was too much for them Too much for them You say, "Bring it here" I was too much for them Too much for them You hold me right You like me as I am (As I am) You like me as I am (As I am) [Verse 2] I used to bite my grief Swallow every crack Act like the weight I wore Was easy on my back But you don't ask me to Trim off the jagged edge You kiss the fear right out And call it tenderness [Pre-Chorus] You never flinch When my heart gets loud You make a home Out of the whole mess now You say, "Come closer" Like it isn't a fight Like all my broken pieces Still shine in your light [Chorus] I was too much for them Too much for them You say, "Bring it here" I was too much for them Too much for them You hold me right You like me as I am (As I am) You like me as I am (As I am) [Bridge] Maybe I was never too big Just with the wrong hands Maybe all that overflow Needed someone who understands And when I shake, you stay When I cry, you stay You don't call it a burden You call it by my name [Chorus] I was too much for them Too much for them You say, "Bring it here" I was too much for them Too much for them You hold me right You like me as I am (As I am) You like me as I am (As I am)
