It Never Mattered

Why'd you have to go and leave me out in the cold
 I was too young, so how could I know
 You didn't give me a light when I tried to grow
 And then you jetted out and took a piece of my soul
 Sticks and stones may chip at your bones
 Especially when they hit so close to home
 But I cut all the losses, buried all the skeletons
 Dropped all the grudges, I can be myself again
 That's the past and I'm moving on fast
 And I won't blame you for the cause of collapse
 They say you've got to live to forgive and forget
 Cause holding on to it is a bigger regret
 All of the words they said
 That debts been paid in full
 All of the things they did
 I can let it go, I can let it go
 The hate, the hurt, the fear, the pride
 It all just disappear when I conceed
 [Chorus:]
 It never mattered at all
 It never mattered at all
 It never mattered at all
 None of the words they said
 It never mattered at all
 None of the things they did
 It never mattered at all
 I feel sick when I go over my resume
 Both at who I am and things I did yesterday
 Fantasizing I could take it back
 But it's a wasted act, have to face the fact that
 I've got to live with the pain I've caused
 And walk amongst those who sustained to loss
 Picking up the pieces of broken trust
 When their hopes were crushed down to smoke and dust
 I said I didn't know and played the role beautifully
 Then I abandoned you when it suited me
 It's a stain that I can't erase
 And I'm ashamed but I can only ask for grace cause
 All of the words they said
 That debts been paid in full
 All of the things they did
 You can let it go, you can let it go
 The hate, the hurt, the fear, the pride
 It all just disappear when we conceed
 [Chorus]
 It never mattered at all
 It never mattered at all
 It never mattered at all
 It never mattered at all
