Lyrics
I was never told about those little things
I was never informed about the small details
You do
That you do (inform about)
I was heading down another dead end
I was going towards another unproductive path
Avenue,
Avenue
But it just the Little things,
But it's just the little things
I hold on to the little things,
I hold on to the little things
I, I, I,
Expressing confusion and hurt after being told she's the one, only to have her heart broken
I don't understand,
-How could this be true?
-You told I'm the one,
-Then you broke my heart in two,
-It's the little things,
Emphasizing the difficulty of letting go of the insignificant but painful things
Oh the stupid little things,
-I can't let them go,
-Then I gave in you took control,
Describing a situation where she gave in, lost control, and was unaware of important details
And I was the last to know,
-The more you learn the less we grow,
-Tell me why the darkside of your smile,
Questioning the hidden, darker side behind a smile that keeps her in denial
Keeps me in denial,
-Oh
-I am getting bored to boredom,
Expressing boredom with the routine and a preference for living in the past
Everything that's new,
-Living in the past is how I keep my piont of view,
-It's the little things,
Reiterating the difficulty of letting go of trivial but impactful things
Oh the stupid little things,
-I can't let them go,
-Then I gave in you took control,
Describing a situation where she yielded control, was the last to know, and faced reduced growth
And I was the last to know,
-The more you learn the less we grow,
-Tell me why the darkside of your smile,
Questioning the reasons behind a smile's dark side that keeps her in denial
Keeps me in denial,
-I know this road has to end,
Acknowledging that a certain road or situation has to come to an end
All of the signs says driving too hard
Noting signs indicating that pushing too hard will lead to a break
Break again
-And I was the last to know
Reiterating being the last to know about a situation
(know, know, know, know )
-It's the little things,
Highlighting the challenge of letting go of seemingly insignificant yet impactful things
Oh the stupid little things,
-I can't let them go,
-Then I gave in you took control,
Describing a situation where she gave in, lost control, and faced reduced growth
And I was the last to know,
-The more you learn the less we grow,
-Tell me why the darkside of your smile,
Questioning the hidden, darker side behind a smile that keeps her in denial
Keeps me in denial,
-Oh
Expressing the emotional impact with an "Oh"
