It doesn't matter anyhow,
What could've been
And what was,
Even though I could speak
Of these things,
Even though I could feel
These things--
It doesn't matter anyhow,
Because now I feel so frail.
It doesn't matter now, if it ever did,
I can't undo the closing
Of your heart,
Because these songs don't
Belong to me,
Because these songs aren't
Sung for me--
It doesn't matter now, if it ever did,
Because now I doubt if you ever cared.
I may say it doesn't matter,
But you know so well it does,
It always will,
And this is just a smile, don't
Take it as a sign,
And this is just a heart's tear, don't
Take it as a sign--
I may say it doesn't matter,
But my eyes never lie.
