Little Things
Rhesus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m losing all I am collecting
Trying to catch you falling over me
I wrote it all for you on a fancy paper
The little things you never knew
And so it goes…
Ouhouhouhou…
Goes…
Ouhouhouhou…
And so it goes…
Ouhouhouhou…
Goes…
I know I failed to deliver
The promises that I was made for you
You can’t deny I did try to fix
The broken pieces of your stupid heart
And so it goes…
Ouhouhouhou…
Goes…
Ouhouhouhou…
And so it goes…




Ouhouhouhou…
Goes…
