Come up short
means to fail to achieve a goal, miss a target, or not have quite enough of something—even if you tried your best. It often implies you were close, but not close enough.
Examples:
1- The team gave it their all in the championship game but came up short by just one goal.
2- The actor was nominated for an Oscar three times but always came up short. Still, fans love his work.
