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
