I found a note crumpled on the floor
Words half-written but they said so much more
Like a quiet shout from a crowded room
A fleeting spark that cuts through the gloom

The coffee's cold but I drink it still
Chasing warmth like a run up a hill
The sun sneaks in through the window blinds
Drawing maps of places we’ll never find

Oh it’s the little things that break us apart
A whispered truth
A quiet heart
The moments we let slip away unseen
Like faded ink on a broken dream

The clock hands move but I stay the same
Each tick a reminder of this endless game
I write your name in the fogged-up glass
Hoping memories of you will last

But time’s a thief with a cunning smile
Stealing seconds
Making miles
And though I fight to hold on tight
The shadows always swallow the light

Oh it’s the little things that break us apart
A whispered truth
A quiet heart
The moments we let slip away unseen
Like faded ink on a broken dream

Ohh... it’s the little things...
The little things that stay...
Holdin’ on through the nights and days
In every word we never say
Ohh...mmhmm... it’s the little things...
