Little Things Lyrics

Your hand fits in mine
Like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind
It was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots
With the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me...

I know you've never loved
The crinkles by your...

    Personally, I think this song is about Larry. I think Harry got Ed to write for him as a message to Louis.

    I think that this song is trying to tell us that what we may see as insecurities are what makes us beautiful and perfect. It's telling us that there is a guy out there that will love us even if we don't. They will love us for all of our insecurities and that they will always be there for us.

    Gosh , I all i can say is that this song has saved so many lives including mine . This song is very emotional , it talks about how the girls who have incecuties , are depressed ,suicidal , and self harm are beautiful & that every little thing about them is beautiful . Its also saying to keep your head up & that eveything is going to be okay and to not forget that your beautiful .

    I think that this song is beautiful. It's telling you that society's view of you does not matter. "The dimples in your back, at the bottom of you spine..." Stands out to me because only someone who has been intimate wit you knows that. They're telling you your imperfections are what makes you perfect and maybe one day you will see that. But until then, they will love you enough for the both of you, maybe even more.

    Little things, is not about a particular girl, but every girl. It shows no matter what little flaws you have, the people that really love you, will always appreciate you, to you. Every time I listen to little things, I think, what flaws do I have that I don't like? If you really think and ask yourself, are these really flaws? Or just a part of what makes me, me different from anybody in the world? There is no one else in the world just like you, and you should appreciate that. So with all your little things, your perfect. You are YOU!

    It is about girls who have insecurities and listen to other people who will say bad things about them. They want you to love yourself for who you are and even if you don't love yourself because of your insecurities they will always love you.

    This song is about truly loving someone. Loving someone so much that each flaw has a place in their heart and something to love about it. Insecurities are poisons, and can lead to several wars of the mind: Depression, Bulimia, Anorexia, ect. This song expresses how people can be imperfectly perfect.

    This song is about girls' insecurities. Almost every verse has things that girls feel as insecurities.
    'You'll never love yourself half as much as I love you. You'll never treat yourself right darlin but I want you to. If I let you know I'm here for you. Maybe you'll love yourself like I, love you.' ~It's saying, even though you don't love yourself, they do, and they will always be there there for you.

    This song is about a guy singing about his insecure girlfriend. He thinks he is beautiful, but she is not happy with herself. He says her little quirks that she doesn't like about herself. Even though she doesn't like them, the guy thinks their her best personality.
    I really hope this helped :)
    These are my own opinions
    Please take this into consideration! :)

    When someone hates themselves and is self harming, they are persuading them not to. But by saying how beautiful they are

    They are singing this to every girl whose ever looked in that mirror and saw ugliness. For ever girl that used that blade to slice her wrist. They are telling every broken girl that someone loves them even if they dont love themselves. They are saying that every girls imperfections is what they love.

    It shows that no matter what you look like you’re still beautiful no matter your insecurities there is always going to be someone out there that will love you for who you are.

    Clearly, this song is referring to a girl being insecure. They are saying that the girl may be insecure but to him she is still perfect. All these little things add up to her. She is perfect the way she is.
