lyrics

It's the little things that make me feel complete
And only half the time, I can barely fill those needs
I know there's no repair
I hoped, but the little things weren't there
With so much we shared

It's the little things that can knocked me off my feet
And only half the time, I can barely bend my knees
I've grown while you stayed there
I don't feel the little things if you care
They've disappeared

Well, they're gone but not forgotten
With a taste left bittersweet
The apple's not quite rotten
But it's just not safe to eat
And it's just not good for me

It's the little things I hoped that I would see
Or I could close my eyes pretend you give me
I know that love's not fair
You broke every rule in Truth or Dare
And that drove us here

It's a ride that I am stopping
On the edge right of my seat
And we crashed and burned too often
In a race I can't compete
But you're just not good for me, not good for me.

Well, it's gone but not forgotten
With a taste left bittersweet
The apple's not quite rotten
But it's just not safe to eat

Well, it's just not good for me

(We grew apart, or I might have changed
You broke my heart and I'm not the same)

It's just not good for me
I tried so hard, but I couldn't hide the pain
Well I always want the little things
