ELT Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I, I should've been listening
To every word you said
Oh, what have I been missing
Wishing, wishing that you were dead
I didn't mean to be so stupid
So far from home
Oh, what have I been learning
By being all alone


[Chorus]
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
(Is gonna) Just tears you apart


[Verse 2]
When, when we were younger
Sleep while I'm awake
I was trying to keep the door locked
I realize that's a mistake

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Every little thing that you do
Seems so much better than I could do
Oh, I should've been listening
To every word you said

[Chorus]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
