Analysis of Too Attached



I don’t want to get too attached

you know I’m not too good at that,

I will be loving you long after you are gone

do we have to assume that things will go bad?

you know that I’m not too good alone, and my head has scared me all along

cause I need you like a fish needs the water

and I know I can’t go any longer thinking we won’t last the night
