Small & Stupid

Lyrics

I shared a cigarette with the last good memory I had of you
my hands were shaking hard enough to light it if I wanted to
it tasted like surrender and the things I couldnt say
held the smoke in like a secret, like you showed me how to do

you said something small and stupid
I heard something huge and true
you coulda laughed the wrong way after
maybe Id have still broke in two

I love your green eyes
I love your cute ears
I love your sweet button nose
I love your lovely hair
I love the way you smile
I love the way you stare
I love the way you say my name
like it was waiting there
I love your soft lips
I love your warm skin
I love the way your whole face changes
when youre trying not to grin
I love your green eyes
I love your cute ears
I love your sweet button nose
and I could stay right here for years

I started measuring the days
by how long I stayed awake
crying at every little silence
like it said your name
everybody talked around me
like I wasnt coming through
every mirror made me look like
someone halfway out of view

Im not dumping this on you, now
but I didnt imagine the wound
I probably shouldve grown up faster
shouldve let it leave the room
maybe we were just too young then
maybe our hearts were bruised too soon
maybe you just dont hold that evening
in your mind like I still do

I love your green eyes
I love your cute ears
I love your sweet button nose
I love your lovely hair
I love the way you smile
I love the way you stare
I love the way you say my name
like it was waiting there
I love your soft lips
I love your warm skin
I love the way your whole face changes
when youre trying not to grin
I love your green eyes
I love your cute ears
I love your sweet button nose
and I could stay right here for years

if you truly dont remember
if your mind let go somehow
thats okay, I never wanted
this to live in you like now
if the years went down more gently
with the blame all laid on me
I can take that if it helped you
be the person you could be
just know I really tried to fight it
even if I looked weak
