[Verse 1]
You said I was "too much"
Then you left your coffee cup
Lipstick on the rim, like proof
Of how I gave and it wasn't enough
Watched our plans in the trash
All the texts, all the laughs
Stinging in my chest
But I'm stronger than that past
[Chorus]
I'm higher than your expectations
You were just my preparation
For a love that fits me better than a glove
I'm brighter than your limitations
I outgrew your reservations
Now I'm standing in a different kind of love
I came out on top
You were just the drop
Before the rise I was made for
[Verse 2]
Met him on a Tuesday
Didn’t ask what you would say
He liked the parts you tried
To turn into my shame
He listens when I ramble
Holds me when I scramble
Sees my cracks as places
Where the light can land again
[Chorus]
I'm higher than your expectations
You were just my preparation
For a love that fits me better than a glove
I'm brighter than your limitations
I outgrew your reservations
Now I'm standing in a different kind of love
I came out on top
You were just the drop
Before the rise I was made for
[Bridge]
No, I don’t wish you hurt (nah)
I just don’t wish you back (never)
You were only chapter one
I’m the story you can’t have
He kisses all my scars
Calls them constellations
Funny how I finally see
I was always the revelation (oh)
[Chorus]
I'm higher than your expectations
You were just my preparation
For a love that fits me better than a glove
I'm brighter than your limitations
I outgrew your reservations
Now I'm standing in a different kind of love
I came out on top
You were just the drop
Before the rise I was made for
