Small Part of Me Lyrics

The music stopped
You watch the people walk away
Your eyes reflected light that shone down
from the stained glass windowpane
Now we could talk
But the words would come out wrong
And there is no black or white
But still, we just move on

And you're never gonna be the same
from this moment you'll rise
to a height only gained by a compromise
share the glimpse of a new beginning
And now you've changed
But just a small part of me believes this
And you will stay
But just a small part of me believes this

And for good luck,
we wear three keys to keep life prosperous
There's a looming shadow
that stands before us
And what was lost
Was the reason to believe
And the innocence and the will to retrieve it

And you're never gonna be the same
from this moment you'll rise
to a height only gained by a compromise
Share the glimpse of a new beginning
And you're never gonna be the same
from this moment you'll rise
to a height only gained by a compromise
Share the glimpse of a new beginning
And now you've changed
But just a small part of me believes this
And you will stay
But just a small part of me believes this
And just a small part of me believes this
And just a small part of me believes this
And just a small part of me believes this

Song Beneath the Song

And for good luck,
we wear three keys to keep life prosperous
There's a looming shadow
that stands before us
And what was lost
Was the reason to believe
And the innocence and the will to retrieve it

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song seems to be about a relationship, the person is moving on to greater and bigger things and she wants to believe that person is going to stay with her, but only a "small part of her" believes it. i wonder if its about her and conor, but thats a complete assumption on my part. very sad, one of my favorites from lynn teeter flower

beautiful! i think its about someone leaving her and changing, but she wants to believe that they wont change when they go, but just a small part of her believes this actually will happen. she sounds hopeful
