[Intro]
Ah-oh

[Verse 1]
You gave me too much to feel
Everything, it feel too real
I don't wanna feel this much
You gave me too much pain
It does not feel the same
I don't wanna hurt this much

[Pre-Chorus]
It's nothin' but pain in the mornin' when I wake up
I can't even eat, can't sleep, just stay up
Shame in your tone when you're sayin' that you're sorry
Please don't speak no more

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna feel too much
I don't wanna speak, don't call
I don't wanna feel too much
I don't wanna feel it all, feel it all
'Cause I feel too much
Then I feel it when we fall
I don't wanna feel too much
I don't wanna feel it all, feel it all

[Verse 2]
Yeah, uh
I been thinkin' 'bout it constantly, I really can't deny it
All the things I wanna say, I keep 'em all inside
Forget about forever, can you get me through tonight?
Maybe I could learn to live without you one day at a time
You had me at a place that I don't wanna go back to
One of us forgot we cut it out because we had to
And lyin' by omission is worse than fuckin' lying
We're lyin' to each other, so what's the point in trying?

[Pre-Chorus]
When there's pain at night when I lay down
I don't wanna talk, no words I could say now
Shame in your tone when you're sayin' that you love me
That won't work no more

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna feel too much
I don't wanna speak, don't call
I don't wanna feel too much
I don't wanna feel it all, feel it all
'Cause I feel too much
Then I feel it when we fall
I don't wanna feel too much
I don't wanna feel it all, feel it all

[Bridge]
And lyin' by omission is worse than fuckin' lying
We're lyin' to each other, so what's the point in trying?
And lyin' by omission is worse than fuckin' lying

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna feel too much
I don't wanna speak, don't call
I don't wanna feel too much
I don't wanna feel it all, feel it all
'Cause I feel too much
Then I feel it when we fall
I don't wanna feel too much
I don't wanna feel it all, feel it all

[Outro]
I don't wanna feel it all, feel it all

​blackbear

blackbear is the stage name of LA-based producer and singer-songwriter Mat Musto, popularly known for co-writing Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend,” in 2012. Some of his first collaborations were with the likes of Pharrell Williams, MGK, and Childish Gambino. Later, Musto reinvented himself—he coined the name blackbear from a previous EP titled Year of the Blackbear. Under his new name, he started leaning more towards rapping and an R&B-oriented style.

His first mixtape Sex included collaborations with his peers James Blake, Maejor Ali, and “Boyfriend” co-writer Mike Posner. The Afterglow followed in 2014.

In 2015, blackbear released “idfc,” as the lead single from his debut album Deadroses. It increased his fan following and revenue, earning him millions of playback streams and a spot on Billboard’s Uncharted List of Undiscovered and Upcoming Artists. The second single, “90210,” included a feature from G-Eazy—blackbear made an appearance in his 2014 track, “Remember You.”
