It Doesn't Matter
Five Finger Death Punch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've wasted a lot of time and effort on motherfuckers like you
Now it's my turn
One, two, three, fuck you!
Fuck you!

You can run away from anything that you have ever done
You're a victim to the system, you're a knife and I'm a gun
You want to be a martyr but you can not take the pain
You're a voice without an echo, you're a drop and I'm the rain
You want me to just turn the other cheek
Want me to admit that I am weak
Want me to submit? That ain't me, that ain't me

You're so self righteous
And you're never going to change
You're sick and spineless
You're the fake and I'm the fame

You can't convince me life is fair
'Cause you were never even there
In the end it doesn't matter, matter at all
That's why I never really cared
'Cause I was never really scared
In the end it doesn't matter, matter, matter, no!

I want to run away from everything I've ever said
It's hard to really care when everything I love is dead
Can't take away a single thing that I have ever done
I'm learning from the burden and that's just half the fun

You want me to just turn the other cheek
Want me to admit that I am weak
Want to wear the crown? Learn to bleed, learn to bleed

You're so self righteous
And you're never going to change
You're dead and lifeless
You're a pawn within the game

You can't convince me life is fair
'Cause you were never even there
In the end it doesn't matter, matter at all
That's why I never really cared
'Cause I was never really scared
In the end it doesn't matter, matter, matter, no!

Go!

You can't convince me life is fair
'Cause you were never even there
In the end it doesn't matter, matter at all
That's why I never really cared




'Cause I was never really scared
In the end it doesn't matter, matter, matter

Overall Meaning
