[Verse 1]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

It's easy when for you the sun is shining


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

It's easy when for you the sun is shining


[Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh


[Pre-Chorus]

It's easy when for you the sun is shining


[Chorus]

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


[Outro]

The smallest thing
