It Doesn'T Matter
It does matter what you do as long as you tried
If you don’t realize dreams something inside dies
No one will notice all the tears that were cried
Capture the moment for the time just flies.
It doesn’t matter what you say long as you are true
The sun shall return and the sky will be blue
It not up to anyone else it’s only up to you
The words shall determine what you will do.
It doesn’t matter what you hear just that you heard
So many meanings are locked inside a word
It’s easy to be complacent and then get bored
You sink into despair when you should have soared.
It doesn’t matter what you see as long as you look
It’s something that you can’t find inside of a book
I should have given but instead I took
All I believed I must have mistook.
It doesn’t matter because the end always comes
It shall be just the same you will never outrun
You can stand in the shadows or bask in the sun
You can pull it together before it all comes undone.
