[Verse 1]
They told me
"Girl
Enjoy the breeze (uh-huh!)
The way the sunlight kisses the trees." (oo-yeah!)
But when the nights get cold
And the rain won't stop
It's hard to see the beauty when you're standing on top
[Prechorus]
Oh
They say life’s a treasure
Find joy in every measure (uh-huh!)
[Chorus]
But the little things in life
They don't shine so bright
When the love's all wrong
And the pain takes flight. (oh, yeah!)
The little things
The love life brings
Can feel so heavy
Ain't no light in the wings
[Verse 2]
A teardrop falls
It’s a diamond’s glow
But who wants jewels when the hurt won’t go? (tell me!)
I used to find magic in the morning dew
Now every moment feels just black and blue
[Prechorus]
Oh
They say life’s a treasure
But I'm drowning in this pressure
[Chorus]
Yeah
The little things in life
They don't shine so bright
When your heart’s been crushed
And there’s no end in sight. (uh-huh!)
The little things
The love life brings
A bittersweet melody that stings and clings
