These Little Victories


Friday night alone
And callin' everyone you know
Your reach for the cigarattes
You gave up long ago
You wanna go get drunk somewhere
Turn it off and just not care
For a little while
Your runnin over what went wrong
For the hundredth time today
You wonder if another thought
Will ever take its place
You're feeling like you're trapped inside
Your own bad dream
One that's never gonna end

 

But here's the funny thing
My friend

 

You feel like you're gonna die
But you don't
You think that the world
Will stop
But it won't
And it's the darndest thing I know
The sun comes up
It's another day
And your heart still beats
And you say
Hey
I'm still breathing
Take it from me
These little victories
Are all a heart needs

 

The photographs you tore in half
Are scattered on the floor
Letter where he swore
His love means nothing anymore
You can't imagine how to get from here to there
But one day you'll know where to start
That's the power of the heart

 

You feel like you're gonna die
But you don't
You think that the world will stop
But it won't

And it's the darndest thing I know
The sun comes up
It's another day
And your heart still beats
And you say
Hey
I'm still breathing
Take it from me
These little victories
Are all a heart needs.
 

The dog still barks
And your shower is hot
And you burn your hand on the coffee pot
So like it or not
Gotta say 

Hey
I'm still breathing
Take it from me
These little victories
Are all a heart needs.
