What a disaster it would be if you discovered that I cared A little too much for friends, but not enough to share.

i don't get this part

the new album is sweeet tho

he means that he cares enough about her that it's distracting to the friendship and that he thinks about her a lot, but that he's scared to tell her that he likes her.

he's looking at it like it's a crush, not like it's actually love.

"...if you discovered that I cared A little too much for friends, but not enough to share."

I take these two lines as:

>

  • He liked her as a friend but is now finding himself caring a little too much "for friends" (he has mixed feelings).
  • I love when he says "but not enough to share" because I can relate to this! I think that phrase means that he does not want to share his "friend" with anyone else.

  • He liked her as a friend but is now finding himself caring a little too much "for friends" (he has mixed feelings).
  • I love when he says "but not enough to share" because I can relate to this! I think that phrase means that he does not want to share his "friend" with anyone else.

    So essentially to me: he sees her as a friend BUT finds himself caring...
