  • I bleach the sky
    Every night
    Loaded on wrong
    And further from right
    Spinning around
    Two howling moons
    'Cause they're always there
    Whatever I do

    The river is loaded
    I've been there today
    Took it some questions
    She does me again
    I'd die in your arms
    If you were dead too
    Here comes a lie
    We will always be true

    Going up when coming down
    Scratch away, away, away, away
    It's the little things that kill
    Tearing at my brains again
    Oh the little things that kill
    That little thing that kill

    The bigger you give bigger you get
    We're boss at denial
    But best at forget
    Cupboard is empty we really need food
    Summer is winter and you always knew

    Going up when coming down
    Scratch away
    It's the little things that kill
    Tearing at my brains again
    Oh the little things that kill
    Tearing at my brains again
    Oh little little little

    Little little little
    Little little little

    I touch your mouth my will is food
    Addicted to love I'm addicted to bull-shit
    I kill you once I kill you again
    We're starving and crude
    Welcome my friends to

    To the little things that kill
    Tearing at my brains again
    Oh the little things that kill
    Tearing at my brains again
    Oh that little little little

    Little little little
    Here it comes that little things
    Here it comes that little ah ah ah ah little, little Writer/s: Gavin Rossdale

  • Dyrsammas from Columbus, OhioLoved this song since it debuted during college. I used it to remind me not to sweat the little things too much. My son heard my playing it, loved it, and we listen to it before every one of his baseball games; it pumps him up for the game.
  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganSince 2001, Gavin has stopped playing rhythm guitar on live versions of this song.
