The Little Things
By: R. A. Cvetich

You hate that I brush my teeth six times a day,
And you hate that I always offer to pay.
You hate that I never call you first.
You hate that I know all the lyrics to songs,
And you hate that I always sing along.
You hate that when it comes to sports, I am the worst.
So you said we’re through,
Cuz it’s the little things,
The little things that matter to you.

CHORUS
Not the fact that I’d give the world for you,
Or my promise that I would always be true.
It didn’t matter how many times,
I told you I was so glad you were mine.
Not the way I held you tight,
Or that when I was with you, everything was right,
For the first time in my life.
Or the fact that I’m in love with you.
No, it’s the little things,
The little things that matter to you.

You hate that I let others have their way,
Even if it means that I won’t be okay.
You hate that I laugh without a cause.
You hate that I’m crazy when I’m with my friends,
And you hate that my stories never end.
You hate that I refuse to tell you your flaws.
So you said goodbye,
Cuz it’s the little things,
The little things that matter in your eyes.

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge
But all that clouded your view,
Were those things that had nothing to do,
With the way I felt about you.
All you could see were the little things that drove us apart,
All I could see was the man I loved with all of my heart.
You never gave me a chance to let you see,
That you were everything,
Everything that mattered to me…

Second CHORUS
And that I would give the world for you,
And I promise that I would always be true.
I would tell you a thousand times,
How lucky I was just to call you mine.
I would always hold you tight,
Cuz when I was with you, everything was right,
For the first time in my life.
Because I am in love with you,
But you still said we’re through,
You acted like you never knew,
Cuz it’s the little things,
The little things that matter to you.
