[CHORUS]
You weren’t hurt enough for me
I was only gonna bring you down
It’d be selfish not to leave
So I had to go and push you out
My heart’s been cursed then
I try to reverse it
On every person that I meet
But you were too perfect
A little too perfect
You weren’t hurt enough for me
[VERSE 1: Kinetics]
Yeah
Netics
One time, I knew a girl with tiger eyes
Two 99-sided diamond irises that I could die inside
Apologize? She taught me the definition
And in a past life, she fought for the French Resistance
Bottles that we hold can fill the hollowest holes
Yo shots to the dome, I’ll probably be all alone
Cuz right now, I feel like the only person that listens to me
Is the NSA when they monitoring my phone
You never asked my sign, you knew that I was a Gemini
Cuz I have a split personality...and so do I
We pop a pill for the pain that we’re told to hold inside
Don’t you dare show your emotional side
I got metal bars as my cartilage and tissue
Part of me’s artificial, I’m sorry I’m guarded with you
Broken hearts are not my issue
I miss my flight, miss my therapy appointment, but I’ll try my hardest not to miss you
[CHORUS]
You weren’t hurt enough for me
I was only gonna bring you down
It’d be selfish not to leave
So I had to go and push you out
My heart’s been cursed then
I try to reverse it
On every person that I meet
But you were too perfect
A little too perfect
You weren’t hurt enough for me
[VERSE 2: Dylan Owen]
Yo I’m weighing all of my options
Shaking off all my dread
I’m waking up on my own now
I’m taking all of my steps
And the vacancy in my old heart
In the same place that you left
I don’t put much on my walls now
It all stays in my chest
Yeah and I’m the illest cat with skills from the Catskills
But I could write a love song
That doesn’t make this Nashville
When I started to wander and hide
You were my partner in crime
Now the days run together like they’re Bonnie and Clyde
And the thought of you keeps ringing in my head
Cuz my songs are like confessions full of things I never said
I lost twenty pounds from lifting up this existential dread
And no you don’t know what it’s like
You’re out of synonyms to send
So here’s a million reasons
That I should have given that weren’t the ones
I’m buried in my worries, imperfect, stuck
With the curtains shut
The earth will rust and turn to dust
Before I learn to love
And oh yeah…
One more thing
What?
You just weren’t hurt enough
[CHORUS]
You weren’t hurt enough for me
I was only gonna bring you down
It’d be selfish not to leave
So I had to go and push you out
My heart’s been cursed then
I try to reverse it
On every person that I meet
But you were too perfect
A little too perfect
You weren’t hurt enough for me
