It was not the flowers you never sent
That won me over dear
The romantic places we never went
Not what let me know you cared
The love letters you never wrote
Are not what made me love you
The sweet, sweet nothings you never spoke
Are not what made me sure you were the one for me
But all the little things we let slip by
Tipped the scales and out-weighed
All the other things we loved so well
The time you spent away from home
Is not what took your heart from me
And all the boys in all the world
Could never lead my heart astray
But something that we never saw grew up
Slowly in between
And by the time we caught on
The gap it left was much too big for us to mend
And all the little things we let slip by
Tipped the scales and out-weighed
All the other things I miss so now
And all the little things I just let fly
Did more harm than good and hit you hard
And oh I miss you now
And all the little things I leave unsaid
Still come running through my head
Thinking they might change your mind
But I'm not sure I would change mine
I didn't know but you were right
