Lyrics

Growing up, always feeling down
Feeling small in a little town
Running round with the misfit kids
Keeping all our secrets hid
One could play and one could sing
One could throw and one could swing
Every one of us had a thing
Buried hopes for a reckoning

I didn’t know the hurt you felt
If I had known could I have helped
Not sure I could because like you
I was hiding, too

It was just a little thing
It was just a little thing
It was just a little thing
It was just a little thing to me

(Instrumental)

One said “You gotta give to get”
I hadn’t learned about regret, yet
‘Nuther said I didn’t get
Where he was, still don’t know, yet
But I was small in a little town
I grew up always feeling down
Ran around with the misfit kids
Keeping all my secrets hid

I didn’t know the hurt you felt
If I had known could I have helped
Not sure I could because like you
I was hiding, too

It was just a little thing
It was just a little thing
It was just a little thing
It was just a little thing to me
