The Little Things Lyrics

What she was, I couldn't tell

The whispers that I knew so well

How she hurt, I couldn't know

It's just a kiss before you go

A part of me that isn't real

A part I can no longer feel

My pencil traces on this line

The thoughts she had that now are mine

It's never easy

Never simple, my friend

And all the little things

They're comin' back around again

I look into the mirror

One face gone, another clearer

Memory fades and distance grows

It's just a song before you go

And what I was, I came to be

Just half the man she dreamed I'd be

To my surprise, I don't know how

It was her laugh come from my mouth

It's never easy

Never simple, my friend

And all the little things

They come to haunt you in the end

You never cry

You soldier on

You don't know why

You sing this song

She didn't run

You made her go

Your jealous heart

Decreed it so

And through her life

She hopes to sail

Sometimes we try

And yet we fail

And broken like

This shattered glass

We grasp it but

The moment's passed

It's never easy

Never that simple, my friend

Through all the little things

You know she loved you in the end

It's never easy

Never that simple, my friend

Through all the little things

You know she loved you in the end
