"Too Much" lyrics

"Too Much"

Don't you just love
To kill the light in my eyes?
To make me low when I'm high?
Oh, whoa, oh
It's just a—, it's just a—
It's just a joke
You always say afterwards
Still, my feelings get hurt
Oh, whoa, oh

So, please
Don't say I'm too much
That I'm over the top
You don't understand me
We're so different at heart
You're on Earth, I'm on Mars
Ah, ah

All I ever wanted was your love
I toned myself down for you
Volume one, almost mute
I'll never ignite
You always found a way to bring me down
You trivialized everything
From my tears to my grins
Oh, whoa, oh, oh

It's like you're scared of anything real
For a second, I thought you were sincere
But you've been dragging me down all of these years
With your coldness, and I don't care

So, please
Don't say I'm too much
That I'm over the top
You don't understand me
Yeah, we're so different at heart
You're on Earth, I'm on Mars
Oh, oh

You go through life like you're on a—
You go through life like you're on a fucking runway
Dracula shoulders, baby, blocking all my sun rays
This throwing shade is so passé
Forever is unlikely for us
Opposites attract, odds are more like Blackjack
House always wins, so I'm taking all my love back
With you, I lose either way

You think I'm weird when I get too excited
I think it's weird how you're so empty minded
Yeah, you've been dragging me down all of these years
With your coolness, and I don't care

So, please
Don't say I'm too much
That I'm over the top
You don't understand me
Yeah, we're so different at heart
You're on Earth, I'm on Mars
But I still keep trying

"Too Much" is the lead single from girl in red's second studio album, "I'm Doing It Again Baby!". The song was premiered on February 9, 2024, accompanied by the music video directed by Fiona Jane Burgess.
The singer, real name Marie Ulven, said on TikTok that "Too Much" is about being told you're too much when being genuinely happy and excited. In another statement, she also explained the inspiration behind the track, "I've always been told I'm too much. Throughout my whole childhood and in my adult years. Getting shut down when I'm at my happiest or most excited made me feel self-conscious, alienated, and weird. It wasn't until I encountered the same feeling in my relationships, that I realised how much it actually hurt me to never feel fully accepted for who I am. As well I think culturally people tend to be too cool to have fun or to show true excitement and emotions, and I'm so tired of that facade."
