Little Things
Ladyfinger (ne) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

where do all the ugly memories go
before they have a chance to get too close

they're locked away inside a broken home
with all the little things that you hide

when you told me that you need your space
I got the feeling you were just afraid
you set me free so I could take my place
among the little things that you hide

I'm really sorry that your heart was broke and it
don't fit together like it did before
but everybody's got a bit of something wrong

it's kinda oh shit that's life

you see a story hid behind my face
I see a woman that I can't replace
I see your tenderness your style embrace
I'm seeing everything that I like

I know we're supposed to pay for our mistakes
but why should we suffer if we're not to blame
it's so ridiculous to live this way
it's such a pitiful waste of time

if you intend to really let me go honey
then pull the trigger baby free my soul
but I could be the one to really help you grow
couple memories that you like

and yeah I know that's how your heart was broke honey
it happens every day or so it goes
but I don't give a shit about it anymore
I'll pay for both of 'em
yours and mine

I want to tell you that I would refrain
for all the memories that bring you pain
I won't be turned into a little thing
among the memories
that you hide

and every now and then I filtered through
many memories I never wanna lose




and I'll let you know I'll always keep a piece of you
among the little things that I hide
