It Doesn't Matter
Parker Theory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I left you a message
But you werent around to get it
Just know I'm trying
Sometimes it's hard to forget it
Maybe I'll be the one to say
Some days it's hard to forget it
Maybe I'll be the one to say
Sometimes I know I'll regret it
It doesnt't't matter
Your gonna get your way
You left me a message
But I'm afraid to read your letter
It wont be so easy
Only time can make it better
Maybe I'll be the one to say
Give it time to make it better
Maybe I'll be the one to say
Give it time to last forever
And when it all comes down
Remember me




This is how it use to be
A photograph of memories
