Rome wasn't built in a day
It didn't happen overnight
The stars didn't get to shine that way

Just by turnin' on the lights
And i'm not any different
God knows i'm not


Yeah i just need a little more time
To pick up the pieces

So i can put it back together baby
It could take forever but i will, i will
Little by little

Little by little

It's best for you to walk away

I can't look you in the eye
Cause i can't be the woman
That you need be to be tonight

I wish it was that simple
But god knows it's not


Yeah i just need a little more time
To pick up the pieces
So i can put it back together baby

It could take forever but i will, i will

Little by little, brick by brick

Little by little, bit by bit
I'm getting better the closer i get
Little by little by little


Yeah i just need a little more time
To pick up the pieces

So i can put it back together baby
It could take forever but i will, i will
Little by little

Little by little

Little by little

Little by little
I'll get there little by little by little
