Text: Sara Bareilles. Careful Confessions. Inside Out.
I've been winding
Down the same road for days
I've seen the coastline
Going both ways
Some days are perfect
And some just simply could not get worse
Some days it's all worth it
And some days this life is nothing but a curse
And I wonder who will break first
I am small
I feel like no more than nothing at all
But when I lose sight of daylight
And my darkness falls
I'll be strong
And if not now it won't be long
From when I lose sight of daylight
And my hands are weak
And my soul is tired
Oh, I'll give my love
From the inside out
From the inside out
Little spirit
No no, don't you desert me now
I know I don't always hear it
You don't always speak so loud
And I'm not willing
To simply lay down my soul for this
And may be all that I'm giving
Ooh, take my love for what it is, oh
I am small
And I feel like no more than nothing at all
But when I lose sight of daylight
And my darkness falls
I'll be strong
And if not now it won't be long
From when I lose sight of daylight
And my hands are weak
And my soul is tired
Oh, I'll give my love
From the inside out
Take your best shot
Here I stand, heart in hand
Fearless I'm not
But I am what I am, oh
And I know what I'm not
And I know enough to know it's never
Gonna be much more than weather
Can't drive me away
When it's only rain
From the inside
It's only rain
From the inside
It's only rain
From the inside
It's only rain
From the inside
From the inside out
I am small
From the inside out, ooh
(I am small)
Down the same road for days
I've seen the coastline
Going both ways
Some days are perfect
And some just simply could not get worse
Some days it's all worth it
And some days this life is nothing but a curse
And I wonder who will break first
I am small
I feel like no more than nothing at all
But when I lose sight of daylight
And my darkness falls
I'll be strong
And if not now it won't be long
From when I lose sight of daylight
And my hands are weak
And my soul is tired
Oh, I'll give my love
From the inside out
From the inside out
Little spirit
No no, don't you desert me now
I know I don't always hear it
You don't always speak so loud
And I'm not willing
To simply lay down my soul for this
And may be all that I'm giving
Ooh, take my love for what it is, oh
I am small
And I feel like no more than nothing at all
But when I lose sight of daylight
And my darkness falls
I'll be strong
And if not now it won't be long
From when I lose sight of daylight
And my hands are weak
And my soul is tired
Oh, I'll give my love

From the inside
It's only rain
From the inside
It's only rain
From the inside
It's only rain
From the inside
From the inside out
I am small
From the inside out, ooh
(I am small)
