Small Things (I Forget) Lyrics

Takeout on the couch

Your hair on the pillow

The view from your house

How the city looked from your window

Your eyes in the light

The draft in your bedroom

You held me through the night

I would've frozen without you

There's something unsettling

About slowly forgetting thing

I thought I'd remember

But it's been a while since we were together so

All these moments are memories

I never thought I'd be treasuring

I didn't think closure would mean

Feeling nothing

Now I know

What I need

Is an empty head

Oh it's bittersweet

Up in smoke

Let me breathe

Burned a box of the shit you gave me

Got your favorite song

On the tip of my tongue

I can't remember your birthday

But still know the month

Bigger things

I can keep

Ever since you left

It's the small things I forget

An uncomfortable silence

Or shouts down the hallway

I thought love was like this

We were going the wrong way

Now I can't figure out

What half of our fights were about

Who said what to who

Really doesn't matter

Now I know (now I know)

What I need (what I need)

Is an empty head

Oh it's bittersweet

Up in smoke (up in smoke)

Let me breathe (let me breathe)

Burned a box of the shit you gave me (all the shit you gave)

Got your favorite song

On the tip of my tongue

I can't remember your birthday

But still know the month

Bigger things (bigger things)

I can keep (I can keep)

Ever since you left

It's the small things I forget

It's the small things I forget

It's the small things I forget

It's the small things I forget

("Moving on isn't growth… it's amnesia")
