You don't say I'm pretty Not like you used to And I'd never admit it I'm trying so hard for you But all of the moments I treasure In the morning you won't remember Don't know why I can't keep it together Long enough to try I make big things out of little things And I watch you keep missing them You don't get why it's killing me Every time you mess this up Set myself on fire to keep us warm Swear I lose my mind Watching you ignore all the little things The little things mean so much more So no, I'm not finished Don't look at me crazy I hate when you say shit you don't mean Just 'cause you're angry 'Cause all of the moments I treasure You're too messed up to remember Don't know why you can't keep it together, long enough to try I make big things out of little things And I watch you keep missing them You don't get why it's killing me Every time you mess this up Set myself on fire to keep us warm Swear I lose my mind Watching you ignore all the little things The little things mean so much more Yeah, they mean so much more All the little things, all the little things, all the little things Yeah, they mean so much more All the little things, all the little things I make big things out of little things And I watch you keep missing them You don't get why it's killing me Every time you mess this up Set myself on fire to keep us warm Swear I lose my mind Watching you ignore all the little things The little things mean so much more Yeah, they mean so much more
