"Little Voice" lyrics - SARA BAREILLES

It's everything I am and what I'm not
And all I'm tryna be
This is the part where I spit it all out
And you decide what you think of me
I'm not trying to be complicated
I'm never waiting to get the last laugh
But I've been handing out benefits of the doubt
And I'd like a little bit back

[Chorus:]
It's just a little voice
And if you're listening
Sometimes a little voice
Can say the biggest things
It's just my little voice that I've been missing

Looking over the precious moments, it hurts, don't it?
They can cut both ways
No amount of remembering the better things will make the bad ones go away
But I've been broken and the one to blame
So my savior of self-defense, taught me to sing what I can't say

[Chorus:]
It's just a little voice
And if you're listening
Sometimes a little voice
Can say the biggest things
It's just my little voice that I've been missing

[Bridge:]
I will be loud
I'm coming out to tell you words are not enough
I will be loud
I'm coming out to tell you noise is not enough
I will be loud
I'm coming out to tell you words are not enough
I will be loud
I'm coming out to tell you noise is not enough

It's the reason you whisper "You love her" alone
We've been handed the mountain tops to sing from and we still don't

[Outro:]
Sometimes a little voice
Can say the biggest things
It's just my little voice that I've been missing
It's just my little voice that I've been missing
It's just my little voice that I've been missing
