Split Too Much
Musical Theater, Cheerful yet uncanny, an absurd swing-driven parody unfolds as a bright showtune with big band brass stabs, walking bass, and crisp tap-dance rhythms, led by theatrical vocals that smile through unease, shifting between tight ensemble choruses and slightly off-kilter solo phrasing, maintaining a lively tempo around 140 BPM while allowing subtle timing imperfections and tonal instability to create a controlled sense of discomfort, with muted trumpets, dry drum kit, and piano comping layered cleanly but with intentional imbalance, dynamics exaggerated like stage lighting cues, harmonies leaning sweet yet resolving strangely, capturing a polished yet eerie stage spectacle where joy feels rehearsed and something beneath it never quite settles

Lyrics
Trying to fill an emptiness that one person alone could no longer contain, they kept dividing love until it began to break apart. Between kindness and escape, this is the quiet echo of someone finally realizing which warmth they truly want to protect.

[Intro]
ねえ 僕らはいつから
ひとり分じゃ 足りなくなったんだろう
[Verse 1]
既読つかない夜に
優しさだけ時差で届く
「大丈夫」ってひとことが
距離をなぞるみたいだ
君はここにいるのに
僕だけ少し足りなくて
隙間みたいに別の声探してた
[Pre Chorus]
割れば軽くなるって顔で
増やしてきたけど
触れるほど崩れてく
うまく持てないまま
[Chorus]
Love, I split it too much
now it’s no one’s to hold
君と僕のあいだで
ノイズみたいに増えていく
Every time that I’m filled
there’s a space opening up
ねえ これが優しさなら
どうしてこんなに遠ざけてたんだ
[Verse 2]
否定しない声たちが
都合のいい答えくれる
痛みごと抱きしめるの
少しだけ下手になった
笑い方も似てきたね
合わせたリズムのまま
ほんとのテンポはもう
思い出せないまま
[Pre Chorus]
選ばなくていい顔で
並べてきたけど
どれも手にしたはずで
どれにも触れてない
[Chorus]
Love, I split it too much
tried to keep it from breaking
君のぬくもりだけは
どこにも代えられない
Every time that I’m filled
something fades out again
ねえ 近づきたいだけなのに
どうしてまたズレてくんだろう
[Bridge]
これ以上増やしたくない
これ以上逃げたくもない
選びきれない僕じゃ
君に触れられない
でもやっと分かったんだ
手放せないくらいに
守りたいのは君なんだ
[Final Chorus]
Love, I split it too much
now I know what I’m breaking
その全部が今 君を
遠ざけてたんだって
I don’t need to be full
欠けたままでいい
ちゃんと君に向けて
この声で呼びたい
Love, I split it too much
でもまだ間に合うなら
君と僕のあいだを
もう一度だけ選びたい

[Intro]
Hey, when did we start feeling
like one heart just wasn’t enough anymore?
[Verse 1]
On nights your reply never comes
only your kindness arrives late somehow
That simple “I’m okay”
felt like tracing the distance between us
You were right here beside me
but something in me still felt incomplete
So I kept reaching for other voices
to fill the quiet spaces in between
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept telling myself
love gets easier when divided up
but every time I held someone close
everything started falling apart in my hands
[Chorus]
Love, I split it too much
now it’s no one’s to hold
Between you and me
it multiplied like static in the dark
Every time I feel complete
another emptiness appears
If this is what kindness is supposed to be
why did it only push us further away?
[Verse 2]
Voices that never judged me
always gave me the answers I wanted
Somehow I forgot
how to hold somebody through the pain
Even the way we laugh now
has started sounding the same
We kept moving to borrowed rhythms
and lost our own somewhere along the way
[Pre-Chorus]
I acted like
I never had to choose anyone
kept everything lined up neatly
but even after holding all of it
I never truly touched a thing
[Chorus]
Love, I split it too much
tried to keep it from breaking
but your warmth is still
the one thing nothing can replace
Every time I feel complete
something else fades away
I only wanted to get closer to you
so why do we keep drifting out of sync?
[Bridge]
I don’t want to keep adding more
don’t want to keep running either
A version of me that can’t choose
could never really reach you
But I finally understand now
the thing I couldn’t let go of
was always you
[Final Chorus]
Love, I split it too much
now I know what I’m breaking
All of it was slowly
pushing you away from me
I don’t need to be whole
I can stay incomplete
I just want to call your name
with my own real voice this time
Love, I split it too much
but if there’s still time for us
I want to choose
the space between you and me
one more time
