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've 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 light 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, no I believe it They say it's in the small things that I can see your love And I've 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
