lyrics

I think I must be crazy enough
to tell you how I feel
I always found my way around the confrontation
of letting myself heal

The art of forgetting is painting landscapes on my walls
(Thank you for that!)
I’ve been dreaming
That I’ve been living
A life that didn’t look like this
I’ve been thinking

I love you too much
I think that I must be out of my mind
And if you don’t mind, could you stay by my side?
‘Cause I’m so afraid you might leave at any time

Let’s just stop –
I think I’m in love, but I think I’m broken
And I know I’ve been somewhere else too long
Ever since I broke down when you were gone
But I think, it just came up for me:
Every bad, unimportant memory
Now

The art of forgetting is painting landscapes on my walls
(I thank you for that)
Thank you for emotional stability
In emotional instability
I never knew I had

I love you too much
I think that I must be out of my mind
And if you don’t mind, could you stay by my side?
‘Cause I’m so afraid you might leave at any time

I love you too much, I love you too much, sometimes
I feel like I just love you too much / Sometimes I feel like I don’t love you enough sometimes
