Yeah…
I keep hearing that shit…
Over and over…
She said I was enough…
Just not enough.
She said “you perfect, just too short”
That sentence cut me to the core
I gave you love, you wanted more
Now I’m bleeding on this studio floor
She said “you perfect, just too short”
I hear that every night alone
I tried to love you pure, not forced
But love don’t work when it’s measured, no
Same room, same pain
Your name stuck in my brain
You said I felt like home
But home don’t make you stay
You didn’t say I was wrong
You didn’t say I was fake
You just looked at me different
When you pictured your fate
I don’t blame you, I don’t fight
I just replay that one line
You didn’t say I wasn’t love
You said I wasn’t the right size
She said “you perfect, just too short”
That sentence cut me to the core
I gave you love, you wanted more
Now I’m bleeding on this studio floor
Too short…
Too short for your world…
Yeah…
Late nights, no sleep
I stare at walls and beats
Try to drink it away
But it keep chasing me
I don’t miss the fights
I miss the way you looked
When you almost chose me
Then closed the book
I would’ve stayed through the storm
Through the doubt, through the noise
But love ain’t love no more
When it’s measured by choice
She said “you perfect, just too short”
I swear that shit hurt more and more
I gave you heart, you checked the score
Now I’m alone with the songs I wrote
She said “you perfect, just too short”
That echo live inside my soul
I wasn’t broken, I wasn’t lost
I just got measured, that’s all
If love was blind…
You would’ve stayed.
If love was real…
You wouldn’t hesitate.
She said “you perfect, just too short”
Guess that’s what broke my heart the most
I gave you love, you wanted more
Now I’m bleeding through every note
She said “you perfect, just too short”
I hear it when I’m all alone
I didn’t fail, I didn’t fall
I just got measured, that’s all
Too short…
Too short…
Yeah…
Too short…
