Lyrics

A Little Too Much
Written by Yves Stilmant © 2025

[Verse 1A]
I line my shoes up by the door
Wipe the counters, check once more
I need the world to feel just right
To calm the storm that fills my mind
[Verse 1B]
I buy new things to feel some peace
A breath before the noise repeats
It's fleeting joy, then it's regret
Wrapped in ribbons I forget
[Pre-Chorus]
And you might think it's just a phase
But it's a war I fight with grace
[Chorus]
It's just a little too much
The silence, the rush
The voice that won't quit
The need to feel fixed
I smile like I'm fine
But I'm caught in a spin
I'm not broken -- just stuck
Just a little too much

[Verse 2A]
I check the lock five times at night
Still feel the tremble in the light
My hands are raw, my thoughts run wild
I fake control with practiced style
[Verse 2B]
Each heartbeat feels like breaking glass
I wish this heaviness would pass
I laugh with friends to hide the pain
But peace slips through me like the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to run, I want to stay
I'm holding on most every day
[Chorus]
It's just a little too much
The pressure, the punch
The fear I obey
The rules I replay
I look like I'm calm
But inside I erupt
I'm not crazy -- just tough
Just a little too much

[Bridge]
I wear my mask and play along
While every day feels twice as long
It's not for show, it's not for praise
I'm trying hard just to feel okay

[Final Chorus]
It's just a little too much
The noise, the hush
The loop I repeat
To feel some relief
But I still get back up
When it all gets too rough
I'm not broken -- I'm just
A little too much
