# CAN'T SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES **[Verse 1]** You gave me everything I found something to complain about You held the door for me I wondered why you held it out I kept a list of little things You never even knew Funny how I saw every flaw Except the good in you **[Pre-Chorus]** I was so busy looking down I never saw what I was standing in **[Chorus]** Can't see the forest for the trees Can't see what's right in front of me I had your hands inside of mine Still spent my time looking for signs Can't see the forest for the trees I made a problem out of everything Now you're gone And all I see Is everything I couldn't see **[Verse 2]** You knew when I was lying Before I said a word You'd laugh at all my worst jokes Like they were worth being heard I thought you wanted too much I thought I needed room Turns out I just didn't know How lucky I was with you **[Pre-Chorus]** I kept waiting for the other shoe You were waiting for me to notice you **[Chorus]** Can't see the forest for the trees Can't see what's right in front of me I had your hands inside of mine Still spent my time looking for signs Can't see the forest for the trees I made a problem out of everything Now you're gone And all I see Is everything I couldn't see **[Bridge | stripped down]** Maybe that's the cruel part You don't know it's good Until you're standing somewhere else Wishing that you could Go back Go back Go back **[Final Chorus]** Can't see the forest for the trees I couldn't see what you were giving me I had the whole damn world And still complained Now every little thing Reminds me of your name Can't see the forest for the trees I finally see it You're not here. **[Outro]** You're not here.
