Tell me what I look like through your eyes

Tell me did I ever cross your mind

Wonder if I have to wonder why

There's so many things that you could say

Why can't you just come and set things straight

Tell me did you look the other way

They say it's in the small things

That I can see your love

And I got all these big things

And they're messing me up

And maybe it's perspective

And that could change my mind

And one day all these small things

They will add up over time

Cause that happens all the time

Did you mean to teach me something new

Or show me how to love the way you do

Everyone keeps telling me you only want the best for me

But that's just something new to me that I believe

They say it's in the small things

That I can see your love

But I've got all these big things

And they're messing me up

And maybe it's perspective

And that could change my mind

And start seeing the small things

How they add up over time

I know it will take some time

Once in a while when my heart stops beating

I hear you say "if you just keep breathing

You'll be alright promise I'm not leaving"

Now I believe it

They say it's in the small things

That I can see your love

And I got all these big things

And they still mess me up

And I know it's perspective

And that has changed my mind

Now I can see the small things

How they add up over time

It just takes a little time

One step and you'll be fine
