Silly Little Things

It was sometime in December

Oh, I’m sure you don’t remember

You tend to forget silly little things

But you met me in the middle

We were all alone and little

And I loved you and I learned that you loved me

Darling, we were young and we were learning

Didn’t think that we’d be hurting anyone

You march in like a lion

But you always end up crying

Like a little lamb every time you leave

And you tried to save your rose

You think you’re stronger than the snow

When’s the last time that you left it up to spring?

Darling, you could use some more discernment

I don’t think that you’d be hurting anyone

Now you’re older than your mother was

When she had your brother

Are you somewhere close to where you thought you’d be?

I can see a child’s face

Where a woman took her place

But you’re still a child just playing in a creek

Darling, you’re still young and you’re still learning

Trying hard to keep from hurting anyone

But I saw you all alone

Inside the watering hole

Crying in your heart out on your sleeve

It’s bigger than you know

I pray it never turns to stone

It’s okay to take a moment just to breathe

Darling, you could use some more discernment

I don’t think that you’d be hurting anyone

Somethings gotta give

Someday it’ll all make sense

You’ll still try to save your rose

You think you’re stronger than the snow

But when’s the last time that you left it up to spring?

When’s the last time that you left it up to spring?
