Too Small For Eyes Lyrics

All things aside, I gave enough of my time
I lost a dozen friends of mine
But I don't think it will be long now
Please tell me that you won't be long

I hate my body, I love your taste
Bird stirring in my chest, you give and take away

Restless limb, restless mind
How time will test its teeth, oh God
We lived unloved in unmade beds
You wore me like a necklace
You closed me like a locket

Became something bloated with doubt
Bullied by love too small for eyes
Too small for eyes

I think I'm at my best when nothing's needing me
Walked softly as I could and still I stepped on their feet
I want to apologize to everyone I see
I want to apologize to everyone I meet

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
