Sensitive

Verse 1

I've been disqualified by my best friend.
Funny how it keeps happening.
No one really likes to be lonely, do they?
But somehow I keep ending up here.

Every new year I count the people left,
Then I count the people gone.
I never know which one hurts more—
The ones that leave, or the ones that move on.

Chorus

Maybe I'm too sensitive.
Maybe I care too much.
Maybe I'm too quiet,
Maybe I'm not enough.

You carried me around
Until the handles broke.
Then you threw me away
Like a Primark paper bag.

Verse 2

You remember who stayed,
You remember who didn't.
You meet new people,
Wonder if they'll stay a little longer.

You trim away the negativity,
Tell yourself that's how you grow.
But sometimes growing feels a lot like
Learning how to let people go.

They always say, "It's life."
Like that's enough to make it hurt less.
But some people become strangers
While they're still living in your head.

Chorus

Maybe I'm too sensitive.
Maybe I care too much.
Maybe I'm too needy,
Or maybe I'm not enough.

You carried me around
Until the handles broke.
Then you threw me away
Like a Primark paper bag.

Bridge

I'm strong, but I'm weak.
I look like I can, but I can't.
I want to, but I won't.
I wait... then I rush.

I remember... then I forget.
I'm brave... but I'm scared.
So very scared.

We all wore masks this year.
We all hid behind "I'm fine."
We stopped asking how each other was,
One quiet day at a time.

We haven't spoken much this year...

Final Chorus

Maybe I'm not too sensitive.
Maybe I just feel things honestly.
Maybe everyone else got better
At pretending they're okay.

If you ever think I've disappeared,
I'm probably still right here.
Just waiting for someone
To say my name.

Outro

I've been disqualified by my best friend...
But I don't think friendship's supposed to feel like that.

No one likes to be lonely.

Maybe being sensitive
Isn't the worst thing to be.
