Care Too Much
The Letter Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Intro
Why do I keep
Goin' back to you
You'll never change

Verse 1
I trusted you
You threw it back at me
I fell in love
I fell down on my face
For years I wondered, what I saw in you
I'm seeking forgiveness, from those you made me loose

Pre-Chorus
I'm done with you
I'm standing on my own

Chorus
I think I care too much for you

Why am I still here
You told me to go away (tell me why you're still here)
Still I decide to stay
I think I care too much

Verse 2
You took my life
And threw it all away
You broke my heart
And let me bleed to death
You took advantage of what I had to give
I'm taking it back now, and leaving you behind

Bridge




Weird voices talking
Why

Overall Meaning

won't they leave me alone?
I'm trying to move on
But your memory won't let me go


The Letter Black's song Care Too Much is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever stayed in a toxic relationship for too long. The lyrics speak to the frustration and pain of loving someone who doesn't deserve it, and the struggle to let go and move on. The opening lines of the song, "Why do I keep goin' back to you, You'll never change," set the tone for the rest of the song, which recounts the singer's experiences being hurt and betrayed by someone they loved.


The first verse describes the singer's feelings of betrayal and heartbreak, as they reflect on the relationship that they thought was built on trust and love. The lines "I trusted you, You threw it back at me, I fell in love, I fell down on my face" perfectly capture the feeling of being blindsided by someone you care about. The pre-chorus and chorus are both empowering, as the singer declares that they are done with this person and that they care too much for someone who doesn't deserve their affection.


The second verse is even more visceral and describes the ways in which the singer was taken advantage of and hurt by this person. The lines "You took my life and threw it all away, You broke my heart and let me bleed to death" are especially powerful, and speak to the pain of being hurt by someone you trusted. The bridge also adds an interesting layer to the song, as strange voices interrupt the singer's thoughts and make it even harder for them to move on.


Overall, Care Too Much is a powerful and relatable song that speaks to the pain of loving someone who doesn't love you back, and the strength it takes to move on and let go of toxic relationships.

For you of think that God is something without you, it's WITHIN YOU! If God created you in His image, then you is God, makes sense? We make music, God makes music! BTW: This song is great!c*spoken in my own God words* Let's all come together!
