"Too Much To Handle" by Great Good Fine OK is a song about feeling overwhelmed and uncertain in a relationship. The lyrics suggest that the narrator is at a breaking point and doesn't know how much more they can handle. The song starts with the narrator feeling like they are about to "melt away" and running out of time. They are tired of hearing empty words from their partner and want to take control of the situation. The narrator acknowledges that they never intended to leave, but they need their partner to be honest and tell them what they need to know. They are trying to decipher the true meaning behind their partner's words and desperately trying to move on from the relationship. As the song progresses, the narrator questions what their partner will do once they leave. The chorus emphasizes the overwhelming feeling of uncertainty, with the narrator asking what their partner will do when the narrator is gone and their love is no longer present. It feels like too much for the narrator to handle. The verse suggests that their partner may have expressed everything they wanted to say, but the narrator doesn't believe it was always their fault. The mention of playing with heat in the car and the desire to show more implies a passionate relationship, but the narrator feels like their partner has never seen anyone like them before. They wonder when their partner will call and if they truly came into their life alone looking for a place to call their own. The bridge repeats the chorus, emphasizing the overwhelm and uncertainty. The song concludes with the refrain of "I'll never wait for a love life," where the narrator declares that they will not wait around for a love life and won't tolerate being overwhelmed anymore. Overall, "Too Much To Handle" explores the emotions of feeling weighed down, uncertain, and overwhelmed in a relationship where communication is lacking. The narrator is ready to take control and move on.
