Breathe Between The Bills

[Verse 1]
Rent due Friday
Card maxed Monday
Lunch is leftovers
Cold coffee
Same breakroom chair
Scroll through numbers
Red lines
Overdraft glare
I’m tired of praying
That the math turns into air
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m done with guessing
What’s left in my hand
Gonna write it all down
Gonna make a stand
[Chorus]
I wanna breathe between the bills
Not chase the end of every week
Turn this panic into plans
Turn this stress into some peace
I wanna breathe between the bills
Watch my balance start to climb
Living more than just surviving
One small choice at a time
[Verse 2]
Packed my own dinner
Skipped the takeout lie
Unsubscribed from that
“Limited offer
You gotta buy”
Split my paycheck
Buckets in my mind
“Future me” gets a piece
Every single time
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not magic
Just a different frame
Every dollar
Has a job and name
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I was rich for a minute
Every payday high
Then broke by Thursday
Couldn’t say why
Now I track every coffee
Every ride I take
Tiny little choices
Shaking off the weight
[crescendo]
It ain’t about perfection
It’s progress when I try
I’m building up a buffer
So I can sleep at night
[Chorus]

Chorus explodes with open strums, gang shouts, and stacked harmonies on the hook. Brief bridge strips to bass, toms, and claps before a final, anthemic chorus.
