Payday To Payday

Intro ( humming/ whisper)
Alarm at five, no time to breathe,
Coffee cold, same routine.
Another day, another fight,
Same old bills say “goodnight.”

Verse 1
Stupid life, always paying bills,
Drains me dry, no break, no thrills.
Riding this debt, a rollercoaster ride,
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

Pre-Chorus
Counting days till the next paycheck,
Promises I know I’ll probably break.
Smile online like I’m doing fine,
But my wallet’s screaming every time.

Chorus
I’m broke but breathing, still alive somehow,
Dreams on layaway, not right now.
Laugh it off, say “I’m okay,”
Adulting hits me every payday.

Verse 2
Coffee keeps me up, stress keeps me sane,
Living off hope and instant ramen.
Friends say “it’ll work out soon,”
But the rent’s still due every afternoon.

Pre-Chorus
Plans get canceled, budgets too,
Every month feels déjà vu.
Trying hard just to stay afloat,
Writing wishes I’ll never note.

Chorus
I’m broke but breathing, still alive somehow,
Dreams on layaway, not right now.
Laugh it off, say “I’m okay,”
Adulting hits me every payday.

Bridge
Maybe someday this’ll make sense,
All this surviving, cents to cents.
Till then I’ll fake it, day by day,
Hope’s the only bill I let myself delay.

Final Chorus
I’m broke but breathing, hear me now,
Still chasing light, don’t ask me how.
If this is life, I’ll stay and play,
Tired, hopeful, broke—but I’m still okay.

Outro (Alt – soft)
Lights go low, debts stay loud,
Lost in dreams I say out loud.
Same fight waits when morning breaks,
But I’m still here—for my own sake.
