Little Things

What are we gonna do*
About me and you
And all these little things
That get between us
And leave us fighting to keep our grasp
Remembering what we had
They’re tearing us apart?
What can I do with you
And your tears and your heart
That forever aches
Your body shakes
And you say this isn’t what love is supposed to be
It’s tearing me apart?
What can you do with me
And my cold, distant heart
All the hurtful things I say
My attempts to explain it all away
One day love wears the crown
The next it’s on the ground
It tears you apart?
I saw you walking a lonesome road
In the middle of the night
Said you could not stand one more fight
Said you felt so alone
Couldn’t call this your home
I’m staring out the open door
Past the kids, past the yard
Why do I make your life so hard?
I wonder what I’m looking for,
Why I treat you so poor?
What are we gonna do
About me and you
And all these little things
That get between us
And leave us fighting to keep our grasp
Remember what we had
They’re tearing us apart?
