Too Much
Overwhelmed by Care: The Weight of Giving Too Much
Lyrics
Sometimes words don’t have no power
Sometimes words lack impact or influence
Sometimes seconds feel like hours
Moments can feel prolonged, like hours
I threw in my towel
I gave up or surrendered
When the noises made don’t travel
Noise doesn't carry, communication is ineffective
And the ties we had unravel
Our connections or relationships fell apart
Didn’t win this battle
I didn't emerge victorious in this struggle or conflict
I gave it all
I invested everything, but it wasn't sufficient
I gave it all
-But it wasn’t enough
-Not enough
-I gave it all
Repeated acknowledgment of giving one's all but falling short
I gave it all
-But it wasn’t enough
-Not enough
-I
Expressing caring excessively, to a point where it wasn't beneficial
Cared
-A bit too
-Much
-Too much wasn’t worth it
The excessive care wasn't worthwhile
Too much wasn’t worth it
-I
Reiteration of caring too much, extending beyond value
Cared
-A bit too
-Much
-Far too much
Emphasizing caring excessively
Far too much
-Sometimes people that you grow with
People you grow with can be the cause of slowing down without realization
Are the reason why your slowing
-Down and you don’t know it
-When your efforts go unnoticed
Unrecognized efforts and hidden pain make it challenging to persist
And the pain you feel ain’t showing
-Hard to keep on going
-I gave it all
Once again, giving everything but it's not enough
I gave it all
-But it wasn’t enough
-Not enough
-I gave it all
Repeating the theme of insufficient efforts
I gave it all
-But it wasn’t enough
-Not enough
-I
Overcaring without gaining value in return
Cared
-A bit too
-Much
-Too much wasn’t worth it
Highlighting the lack of worth in excessive care
Too much wasn’t worth it
-I
Continuation of caring too much, reaching an extreme
Cared
-A bit too
-Much
-Far too much
Emphasizing the intensity of excessive care
Far too much
-I
Repetition of caring too much, emphasizing its undesirability
Cared
-A bit too
-Much
-Too much wasn’t worth it
Stating that excessive care wasn't worthwhile
Too much wasn’t worth it
-I
Concluding with the idea of caring far too much, to an unsustainable extent
Cared
-A bit too
-Much
-Far too much
Emphasizing the extreme nature of excessive care
Far too much
