The Smallest Thing

[Verse 1:]
I didn't notice the crying man, too busy with me
I didn't stop for a moment to help the woman on her knees
I didn't hear the cry for help behind her polite "hello"
I only saw the gentle smile that hid the scars below.

[Pre-Chorus:]
It's easy when for you the sun is shining.

[Chorus:]
How could I have been so blind?
How could I miss so much?
Just a word from me
The smallest thing
Could have been enough
Why didn't I give some time?
Why didn't I spare some love?
Just a smile from me
The smallest thing
Could pick the pieces up
The smallest thing.

[Verse 2:]
I didn't take the time to ask if everything's okay
When everyone else walked on by, I just did the same
I've been counting problems but the truth is I was fine
The people I've ignored each day feel pain much worse than mine.

[Pre-Chorus:]
It's easy when for you the sun is shining.

[Chorus:]
How could I have been so blind?
How could I miss so much?
Just a word from me
The smallest thing
Could have been enough
Why didn't I give some time?
Why didn't I spare some love?
Just a smile from me
The smallest thing
Could pick the pieces up.

[Bridge:]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh.

[Pre-Chorus:]
It's easy when for you the sun is shining.

[Chorus:]
How could I have been so blind?
How could I miss so much?
Just a word from me
The smallest thing
Could have been enough
Why didn't I give some time?
Why didn't I spare some love?
Just a smile from me
The smallest thing
Could pick the pieces up.

[Outro:]
The smallest thing.
