Little Things
Chantal Kreviazuk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Framed all the faces on my way down
I don't have a reason, a reason to lie
That dull pain is screaming to be left behind
Oh
It's never easy to see your past
Unfold before you, the outcast
Caterpillars turn into rare butterflies
Oh .. whoa
The little things we hide
The little things inside
Don't want to show them and I'll be alright
oh, oh
Humility's easing my ego down
The past holds the truth like a lost and found
There's no need to worry, no need to be scared
'Cause little things will come along
And life's never fair
No
Oh, oh
The little things we hide
The little things inside
I don't want to show them that I'll be alright
Oh, oh
Everything is gonna be
Everything is alright
Everything is gonna be
Everything is alright
Is alright
Is alright
The little things we hide
The little things inside
I don't want to show them that we'll be alright
The little things we hide
The little things inside
I don't want to show them that I'll be alright
oh, oh

This was a whole a time for me.....this album. Chantal spoke to me and got me through some stuff. I was getting out of the drug cycle (for good....I just didn't know it, yet) but, I lost the last of my childhood friends. All of 'em. To drugs. The last two, to the poisonous drug supply.
Why isn't anyone being held responsible?!
RIP, brothers and sisters who were sacrificed by their own damn "government".
Love never dies.
