**Verse 1** I’m too loud when I’m hurting Too quiet when I’m done Too full of every feeling Too tired to outrun Too scattered, too intense Too honest when it cuts And somehow with all of that I’m still never enough I give until I’m shaking Then wonder what I missed I pour myself in every direction And still end up like this Looking at the people I love Like I should have given more While carrying the weight Of being called too much before **Pre-Chorus** How can I take up too much space And still leave every room half-empty? How can I give everything I have And still believe they needed plenty more from me? **Chorus** Too much Never enough That’s the cage I keep living inside Too emotional Too complicated Still somehow not enough when I try Too much history Too much hurt Too many pieces I can’t hide But never enough hands Never enough time Never enough ways to make it right How can I be overwhelming And still feel invisible as dust? How can I be too much for everyone And somehow never enough? **Verse 2** I’m too sensitive when words hurt Too strong when I survive Too needy when I need somebody Too distant when I hide Too angry when I’m wounded Too broken when I trust And every version of myself Still somehow isn’t enough Five hearts I tried to carry Five futures in my chest And every time one needed something I thought I should have known the rest I keep measuring my motherhood By everything I couldn’t do Instead of every ordinary day I kept loving all of you **Pre-Chorus** I know no one can be everything But tell that to the guilt It looks at everything I couldn’t save And ignores everything I built **Chorus** Too much Never enough That’s the cage I keep living inside Too emotional Too complicated Still somehow not enough when I try Too much history Too much hurt Too many pieces I can’t hide But never enough hands Never enough time Never enough ways to make it right How can I be overwhelming And still feel invisible as dust? How can I be too much for everyone And somehow never enough? **Bridge** Maybe the rules were never fair Maybe there was no winning here Maybe “too much” was just a word People used when they couldn’t hold what they heard Maybe “not enough” was never truth Just what failure sounds like after years of use Maybe I was never meant To become smaller to be loved Or bigger just to prove I deserved to be enough But I still hear both voices Arguing inside my head One says, *You’re exhausting* The other says, *Try harder instead* **Breakdown** Too much. Not enough. Too loud. Not enough. Too broken. Not enough. Too needy. Not enough. What exactly Am I supposed to become To finally be allowed To just be? **Final Chorus** Too much Never enough That’s the story I learned by heart Too much feeling Too much damage Still not enough to keep things from falling apart Too much loving Too much grieving Too much blame I carried alone Still never enough To stop every ending Or bring every child back home But maybe being human Was never something I had to overcome Maybe I don’t have to be less And I don’t have to become more for anyone I’m not ready to believe it But I’m tired of living crushed Between being far too much And somehow never enough **Outro** Too much. Never enough. Maybe neither one Was ever my name.
