[Verse 1]
You call it tiny, baby
A pinch, a little stain
You laugh it off like sugar
But I still feel the rain
You said, "It's nothing, darling"
Like a feather on the floor
But I saw the bowl still shaking
When you shut the kitchen door
[Pre-Chorus]
You bring me flowers after
Like that fixes all the cracks
Sit real close, real gentle
Try to talk me off the tracks
[Chorus]
Small to you, big to me
Small to you, big to me
You wave it off so sweetly
But I keep the bruise in me
Small to you, big to me
Small to you, big to me
Your damage control is shiny
But the mark stays on the tea
[Verse 2]
You buy me pearled apologies
In a little silver box
Spend the whole afternoon here
Like time can pick the locks
You fold the scene in half now
Make it neat enough to hold
But the glue line shows in daylight
And my hands still feel the cold
[Pre-Chorus]
You say, "Look, I came back smiling"
Like that makes the thing undo
But every joke you toss me
Has a broken edge for you
[Chorus]
Small to you, big to me
Small to you, big to me
You wave it off so sweetly
But I keep the bruise in me
Small to you, big to me
Small to you, big to me
Your damage control is shiny
But the mark stays on the tea
[Bridge]
Now the room feels paper-thin
Every step can split it wide
You can tape the little corners
Can't uncrumple what got fried
I want the truth, not glitter
Not a bandage made of grace
If you broke the little window
I still see it in the pane
[Chorus]
Small to you, big to me
Small to you, big to me
You wave it off so sweetly
But I keep the bruise in me
Small to you, big to me
Small to you, big to me
Your damage control is shiny
But the mark stays on the tea
