Life Is Johnny Short

Life is too short Life is too short, not to say love you I’ve lived life beside you everyday But I could never get enough of you Life is short So short To stand by and hate your sister or brother I don’t even get to see my brother anymore So quit acting like calling your sibling is a daring chore Life is too short We need to learn to love one another just a tad bit more I love Whitney and my dogs Thats who I do it for Life is too short Johnny short You’re down with me at my cake day party Be down with me in court Life is midget short Too short To live without a plan Life is too short You should know where you stand My Life is too short to constantly live in fear Life is too short to barely making it through the year My Life is too short Not to do something new Life is too short not to say I love you Wasting time Shortens life Spending time Studying other people One's you don't care about Wondering could you be like them Succumbing yourself to doubt Doing things You never wanted to I’ve lived life beside you everyday But I could never get enough of you Telling yourself What you cannot do Telling lies to yourself Then saying that you never knew Life is too short not to say love you Questioning Life Rather than Trying to find out the answer on your own Scolding at yourself With a constant pity tone If it didn't make you happy Then it wasn't worth your time I could never get enough of you I’ve screwed fate and denied hate Learn to adore Don't fear what's beyond the shore Don't cry during the night Do it in broad daylight So that someone will see How much you are suffering It's okay to hurt Because your feelings come first Learn to accept care Remember to love your own share Life is too short not to say I love you When I was 14 I learned to appreciate being 5’2 Had to find happiness in myself Before I found you Where they can find you Is right next to me All 2 quarters and 5’3 of me I’m already short So when it comes to money you can’t short me Time is money and money is time And I have to make enough of both for those after and before me Tuesday morning detectives at my door In an instant life can get gory Call my mother and tell her I love her I’m glad I’m free to tell you this story Its hard out here a shorty Life’s short shorty
