Big On the Little Things

Her 5 carats have quit shining
And that big house so inviting
Don't mean a thing
It's built on broken promises 
And rests in, a field of broken dreams

She looks to find the answers
And she's waited, so very patiently
But he failed to get the message
Bout what mattered most
She's big on the little things

She big on the little things
Like the morning roll over I love you
They've gone by the wayside 
Much like, the spark when it was new

She don't need a fancy car
Her broken heart, feels worn out and used
She thinks about a man that she knows
Just waiting there to prove

Some men fail to see a problem
Even though, it stares them in the eyes
With the risk of losing, comes the worst part
They fail to even try

There ain't no cards, there ain't no flowers
It wilts more with each hour
Along with her every hope and dream
Time just proves what she's always knew
She's big on the little things

Shes big on the little things
Like the morning roll over I love you
They've gone by the wayside 
Much like, the spark when it was new

She don't need a fancy car
Her broken heart, feels worn out and used
She thinks about a man that she knows
Who's just waiting there to prove

Maybe someday 
She'll find a man that knows his queen
Is big on the little things
