too Many Lines
by Charlotte
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I spill my heart in empty rooms,
Love feels like a thousand tombs,
Every smile I try to fake
Breaks a little more each day I take.
I paint and sing, but nothing’s right,
Talents fade in the fading light,
I try to feel, I try to care,
But empathy’s just not always there.
(Pre-Chorus)
Friends come close and then slip away,
Decisions haunt me every day,
School’s a mountain I can’t climb,
And parents’ voices echo in my mind.
(Chorus)
Life’s a storm I can’t contain,
Money, love, and all this pain,
I’m holding pieces of myself,
But can’t put them back on the shelf.
Every choice feels like a crime,
Every clock ticks out of time,
I’m standing here but barely alive,
Trying to breathe just to survive.
(Verse 2)
Late nights scrolling, searching for clues,
Nothing feels right, nothing to choose,
I give my heart but it’s not enough,
Every connection ends in rough.
Bills pile high, the world moves fast,
Moments of peace never seem to last,
I reach for stars I can’t hold tight,
Dreams slip away into the night.
(Pre-Chorus)
I try to talk, but words get lost,
Every smile comes at a cost,
I wish I knew what’s meant to be,
But life keeps looking back at me.
(Chorus)
Life’s a storm I can’t contain,
Money, love, and all this pain,
I’m holding pieces of myself,
But can’t put them back on the shelf.
Every choice feels like a crime,
Every clock ticks out of time,
I’m standing here but barely alive,
Trying to breathe just to survive.
(Bridge)
Maybe tomorrow I’ll find a spark,
A little light to guide me through the dark,
Maybe someone will see me whole,
And hold the pieces of my soul.
(Final Chorus – softer, fading)
Life’s a storm I can’t contain,
Money, love, and all this pain,
But I’ll keep holding on somehow,
Learning to breathe in the here and now.
Every choice is still a climb,
Every day, one step at a time,
I may be broken, but I’m alive,
And that’s enough to survive.
