A LITTLE MORE THAN THEY USED TO

A little more than they used to

Eyes,

Said a little more than they used to

Shed a little more than they used to

Hearts,

Loved a little more than they used to

Lost a little more than they used to

Souls,

Chased a little more than they used to

Failed a little more than they used to

Spirits,

Impressed a little more than they used to

Burned a little more than they used to

Smiles,

Faked a little more than they used to

Glittered a little more than they used to

Days,

Troubled a little more than they used to

Jittered a little more than they used to

Nights,

Prevailed a little more than they used to

Stared a little more tha they used to

Stars,

Paled a little more than they used to

chattered a little more than they used to

Minds,

Remember a little more than they used to

Surrender a little more than they used to

Lives,

Shuffled a little more than they used to

Happened a little more than they  used to
