Rome wasn't built in a day
It didn't happen overnight
The stars didn't get to shine that way
Just by turning 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, yeah

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, yeah
