Lyric

The space inside a heart isn't infinite, you know

My own is small, with nowhere else to go

It fills up fast, reaching to the brim

Until the light inside starts to grow dim

If it fell through like a sieve, I’d be lighter and free

But it just stays inside, a heavy part of me

Sometimes it stores too much, until it starts to break

More than a human soul is meant to take

So please, just listen to the words I have to say

A simple nod is enough to clear the way

I love to hear your stories, I love to be the one

To stay until the talking and the day is done

But just for a moment, let the roles be reversed

Let me pour out the feelings that I’ve always nursed

Listen to me... just for tonight

It’s nothing really special, just a tiny little thorn

A feeling in my heart, weary and worn

Is my heart too small? Is there a hidden scar?

Watching all the ripples drifting out so far

If I could just ignore it, the sea would stay so still

But I can’t find the strength, I can’t find the will

The pain turns into tears that I can’t help but shed

Remembering all the things that stayed unsaid

I love to see you smile, it’s a beautiful sight

It’s the reason that I make it through the night

But just for once, could you make me smile too?

I’m reaching for a hand, I’m reaching out for you

Just a little bit of kindness... just a little bit of "us."

So please, just listen to the words I have to say

A simple nod is enough to clear the way

I love to hear your stories, I love to be the one

To stay until the talking and the day is done

But just for a moment, let the roles be reversed

Listen to me... just for tonight

My small heart

The sieve that wouldn't leak

Please just nod
