Lyrics
Description
Verse 1
You slammed the door on Tuesday, left my coat on the floor,
Said you had work, then stayed out late like I was never yours.
Canceled our Friday plans, then called to list my faults,
A laundry list on paper napkins, every line a shot.
You mark the calendar with reasons I fall short,
Name every little failing like it’s something I bought.
Pre-Chorus
Your verdicts stick like lipstick on my skin,
The tally in your eyes is where the doubt begins.
I try to breathe, but your words rewrite my name,
Slowly learning how to lose myself in your blame.
Chorus
Why do you measure love by what I'm not?
You count my cracks and call it what I’ve got.
Say it’s my mistakes that shut your heart away—
Why do you measure love by what I'm not?
Verse 2
You point to late texts, the nights I stayed up crying,
You point to small things—my laugh, the way I’m trying.
You folded our old photos; the corners bore your notes,
Your list of faults hangs heavier than any coat.
You said I’m too loud, said I don’t hold still,
Left my apologies stacked like dishes on a sill.
Pre-Chorus
Your words are knives that carve the hours thin,
I start to believe the story that you keep within.
I shape myself around the shape you want to see,
But loving you’s become a lesson that’s killing me.
Chorus
Why do you measure love by what I'm not?
You count my cracks and call it what I’ve got.
Say it’s my mistakes that shut your heart away—
Why do you measure love by what I'm not?
Bridge
One night I woke to silence after you left the light,
I found my pulse beneath the blame and held on tight.
I’m closing the door to your scoreboard in my head,
I’ll stop apologizing for the life I’ve led.
I’m learning how to say no to being the culprit in your tales,
I’m trading your arithmetic for my own set of scales.
Chorus (Refrain)
Why do you measure love by what I'm not?
I won’t be tallied in the margins of your plot.
You can keep your lists, your reasons and your rules—
I’ll love the parts of me you call the flaws.
Outro
One day I’ll meet a mirror that doesn’t judge my lines,
Find a quiet kind of love that’s patient with my time.
Until then I’ll walk away from being your report,
Learning to love myself, no longer part of your court.
