The Little Picture ft. Ruby Landen Lyrics

You can count up the years

With the things that I've tried

To make a life better

Once step at a time

And the things that would stick

Were never that big

But it's the small ones that matter

In the scheme of things

Yeah it's the small things that matter

And I’ve ached for a love

That was never as grand

As that little picture

You hold in your hand

The kind where you could give up

All of your glory

Just to be a verse

In an unwritten story

All just to be a verse

And every father says

"Look at my baby now

And I would do it all again

If I could have one more round"

But that's not the way

That it always goes

There are dark rooms and quiet days

And unspoken hopes

When you tell yourself

To look at the big picture

But your hope is a small one

You lost in a whisper

Oh your hope is a small one

And after years down a road

That you can’t regret

Still, there are days

That you want reset

You think one thread cut could change

How it all unfolds

But there's a thousand threads

In the hangman’s rope

Oh there's a thousand threads

And every father says

"It could be different now"

And I remember when he said it

I would believe him now
