lyrics

It doesn’t matter now
Doesn’t really matter to me
Who you’re with or where you go or what you do
It doesn’t matter to me now

I used to be a spec
A spec of dirt that hid outside your window
A beggar looking into a life she’ll never have

You say “Wait a little longer
Hold on, things could turn around”
And I say, “doesn’t really matter now”.

Well you can’t hurt me now
You’ve taken all there is to take
Broken- nothing left to break
You can’t hurt me now

I’ve given you a name
I’ll call you “Exhibit A”
So many like you walking the world
And the world waits for you

You say “Wait a little longer
Hold on, things could turn around”
And I say, “doesn’t really matter now”.

Like a bird I played for you
Sang for you
Should have noticed when you shot me down
You didn’t feel a thing
Picked myself up off the ground
Oh, it hurt at first
It hurt at first
But it didn’t last for long…


You say “Wait a little longer
Hold on, things could turn around”
And I say, “doesn’t really matter now”.

It doesn’t matter now
Doesn’t really matter to me
Who you’re with or where you go or what you do
It doesn’t really matter now
Who you’re with or where you go or what you do
Doesn’t matter to me now
Who you’re with or where you go or what you do
It doesn’t really matter now
