The Little Things

It's all in the lies we tell ourselves 

Tomorrow will be better 

Tomorrow, I'll be stronger 

It's in the way we fall apart and 

Piece ourselves back together 

It's in the way we walk 

Hunched shoulders 

No eye contact 

One foot in front of the other 

One step from out of line 

One step from too close or too far 

It's all in the little things 

Staying up just a little too long 

Laces tied just a little too tight 

Invisible burdens just a little too much 

Sometimes it's just not enough 

It's the little things that break us 

Like waves on cliffs 

One drop of water at a time 

One foot in front of the other 

One step from out of line 

It's all in the little things 

It's all in the promises we tell ourselves 

Tomorrow will be better 

Tomorrow, I'll be stronger 

It's in dandelion wishes 

Decorating the front porch 

Spare change caught in your pocket 

Something clearer about the blue sky 

It's in the way we walk 

One foot in front of the other 

One step ahead of sorrow 

One step from a new tomorrow 

A laugh, a small smile 

Just for a little while 

Sometimes it's just enough 

Sometimes it's the little things 

That really build us up 

It's all in the little things 

That makes us or breaks us 

One foot in front of the other 

Bringing us closer and closer 

It's all in the little things
