Small (Drew Tabor Original)

get "Santa Monica" on itunes http://itunes.apple.com/album/santa-monica/id450060064?i=450060068&ign-mp...

Hey guysss :) In celebration of "Santa Monica" being on itunes I wanted to share a new original song with you. This song means a lot to me so I REALLY hope you like it.
ps- sorry for the little spots on the screen.. I didn't realize how dirty the lense was until after I filmed it !

Lyrics:
8 pm and I'm long gone, I want to go to sleep
I don't know why day to day challenges take such a toll on me
The rain gets me down and the sunlight wears me thin
I've had enough small talk I've had enough of everything

I know I'm falling, falling, falling slow
But I'm begging, begging, please don't go
I know I'm not much fun but when the day is done
I love you so

I don't mean to be a wreck, I don't mean to weigh you down
I never meant to be this heavy burden that I've become now
I don't mean to cry every five minutes, I don't mean to lose it all
I don't mean to be so fragile, I don't mean to be so small

You'd never say it but I know I let down I can see it on your face
I try to soldier on but it always turns out wrong I always feel so out of place
The sea it swallows me and the ground it sways beneath my toes
I'm pretty good with balance but I'm breaking more than you know

I know I'm falling, falling, falling slow
But I'm begging, begging, please don't go
I know I'm not much fun but when the day is done
I love you so

I don't mean to be a wreck, I don't mean to weigh you down
I never meant to be this heavy burden that I've become now
I don't mean to cry every five minutes, I don't mean to lose it all
I don't mean to be so fragile, I don't mean to be so small

I don't mean to lose my cool, I don't mean to bring you down
I never planned on being someone that would shut you out
I don't mean to fall short of every goal, I don't mean to lose it all
I don't mean to be so fragile, sometimes I just feel so small

Chords: (I used a capo on the 3rd fret)

I was singing this at work the other day, and everyone was like.. What are you singing? So I told them about this video and how amazing Drew is. (:

@TiffLou11 yesss <3 that's great... YOU are amazing!

[KatiGaston]

Drew, I love your voice and your original songs are all so amazing, I can't wait for an album! I can usually find something to relate to in all of your songs, but this song in particular has touched me heart and soul. I have aspergers and for me this song means the daily struggles that come with it, the drain that I sometimes feel I am on my mother who spends her time helping me through life, and the mask that I wear to the people who don't know the truth about me. Thank you for this song :)
