Woke up to a broken lamp no light to find my shoes Stumbled on the kitchen floor there's coffee on the news Neighbor's dog is barking while the mail comes in late These little bad things in life they accumulate Shopping cart with one bad wheel squeaking down the aisle Phone buzzing it's another bill I can't help but smile Mirrors cracked and so's my patience I grit my teeth tight These little bad things in life turn day into night Little by little they chip and they wear I confess they're making me care a bit less Tiny annoyances stacking so tall I'm sinking I'm shrinking I'm feeling so small Traffic jam on the way to work with no end in sight Lost keys and a missing file things that just aren't right Printer's jammed computer's slow boss's endless calls These little bad things in life build up like walls All these minor setbacks and mundane mishaps They tug they pull they wear me thin with their little traps But I'll hold on tight and keep moving through Cause I won't let the little bad things define what I do Little by little they chip and they wear I confess they're making me care a bit less Tiny annoyances stacking so tall I'm sinking I'm shrinking I'm feeling so small Woke up to a broken lamp no light to find my shoes Stumbled on the kitchen floor there's coffee on the news Neighbor's dog is barking while the mail comes in late These little bad things in life they accumulate Shopping cart with one bad wheel squeaking down the aisle Phone buzzing it's another bill I can't help but smile Mirrors cracked and so's my patience I grit my teeth tight These little bad things in life turn day into night Little by little they chip and they wear I confess they're making me care a bit less Tiny annoyances stacking so tall I'm sinking I'm shrinking I'm feeling so small Traffic jam on the way to work with no end in sight Lost keys and a missing file things that just aren't right Printer's jammed computer's slow boss's endless calls These little bad things in life build up like walls All these minor setbacks and mundane mishaps They tug they pull they wear me thin with their little traps But I'll hold on tight and keep moving through Cause I won't let the little bad things define what I do Little by little they chip and they wear I confess they're making me care a bit less Tiny annoyances stacking so tall I'm sinking I'm shrinking I'm feeling so small
