[Verse 1] You didn’t break my heart at once It happened in little ways Little absences Smaller efforts I kept calling it a phase Kept hoping you’d come back But I was grieving early Losing faith before the end I was leaving in my mind Long before I walked So when I finally left It was quiet [Pre-Chorus] Some endings don’t explode They just thin out They just thin out Till there’s nothing left to hold [Chorus] Little ways, little ways That’s how you left Little ways, little ways I felt it first I was gone before the goodbye I was gone before the goodbye (quiet, quiet) Little ways, little ways [Verse 2] This is the letter you sent me But I don’t even know you That’s the sad part I don’t know who you are So that’s why your heart got broke That’s why you pulled away in silence You weren’t brave enough To face me face-to-face You can’t blame me for your heart If I never knew you You were talking at a shadow Not a woman standing here [Pre-Chorus] Please grow up And understand If you want to chase me Come say it to my face [Chorus] Little ways, little ways That’s how you left Little ways, little ways I felt it first I was gone before the goodbye I was gone before the goodbye (quiet, quiet) Little ways, little ways [Bridge] You might’ve gotten somewhere If you’d looked me in the eyes But you were busy with a screen And a version of me that lied I’m a single woman I don’t play games I don’t play with poetry On Facebook [Final Chorus] Little ways, little ways That’s how you left Little ways, little ways I felt it first I was gone before the goodbye I was gone before the goodbye (face-to-face) Little ways, little ways
