Coming Up Short

(Steven Soucy)

Coming Up Short is a song about someone who always lets the people in their life down. Of building up words and promises and then running away when things get difficult or more involved than they can handle.

Verse 

I'm trying to break out of
This pattern in my life
When things get hard to handle
Not run away and try to do what's right
I've brought you in my circle
Made promises to you
But breaking promises
Is what I always seem to do

Chorus

I've done it again, I can't get out of my way
Let you down again, and now you're all out of sorts
It's got nothing to do, it's really me not you
I've let you down again, I'm always coming up short

Verse

This time I make a vow
That things are gonna change
I'm gonna stand my ground
My mindset re arranged
But then I feel the pressure
Of failing yet again
And now I have my answer
To this solitary man

Bridge

What is this
Deep inside me
That makes me do the things I do
Why can't I be
All you wanted
Im sorry for all I put you through

Chorus

I've done it again, I can't get out of my way
Let you down again, and now you're all out of sorts
It's got nothing to do, it's really me not you
I've let you down again, I'm always coming up short
