The Smallest Thing

I didn't notice the crying man, too busy with me
I didn't stop for a moment to help the woman on her knees
I didn't hear the cry for help behind her polite "hello"
I only saw the gentle smile that hid the scars below
It's easy when for you the sun is shining
How could I have been so blind?
How could I miss so much?
Just a word from me
The smallest thing
Could have been enough
Why didn't I give some time?
Why didn't I spare some love?
Just a smile from me
The smallest thing
Could pick the pieces up
The smallest thing
I didn't take the time to ask if everything's okay
When everyone else walked on by, I just did the same
I've been counting problems but the truth is I was fine
The people I've ignored each day feel pain much worse than mine
It's easy when for you the sun is shining
How could I have been so blind?
How could I miss so much?
Just a word from me
The smallest thing
Could have been enough
Why didn't I give some time?
Why didn't I spare some love?
Just a smile from me
The smallest thing
Could pick the pieces up
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
It's easy when for you the sun is shining
How could I have been so blind?
How could I miss so much?
Just a word from me
The smallest thing
Could have been enough
Why didn't I give some time?
Why didn't I spare some love?
Just a smile from me
The smallest thing
Could pick the pieces up
The smallest thing
