You left your keys by the bowl
I saw your coat still hanging there
The rent was late the phone kept calling
We moved through rooms like we both were scared
At breakfast you broke the yolk
Then laughed like it was nothing at all
But little things kept stacking up
Till they felt bigger than the walls
We ran out of easy
Small things broke us down
(small things broke us down)
A cup a plate a look a sound
(small things broke us down)
I still hear your laugh
In the door that shuts too loud
Small things broke us down
And I let you down
You folded towels the wrong way
I snapped about the grocery bill
You stared at the sink so long
Like maybe love could fix itself
The dog kept circling the table
While we both stared at our hands
We said we'd talk it through
But tired hearts don't make a plan
We kept on going silent
Small things broke us down
(small things broke us down)
A cup a plate a look a sound
(small things broke us down)
I still hear your laugh
In the door that shuts too loud
Small things broke us down
And I let you down
Now the hall feels twice as long
Muted trains on the avenue
A slow sad line from a harmonica
For the one I lost to the truth
If love was a house we built
Then time left rain in the roof
Small things broke us down
(small things broke us down)
A cup a plate a look a sound
(small things broke us down)
I still hear your laugh
In the door that shuts too loud
Small things broke us down
And I let you down
