It Doesn't Matter
Parker Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
In "It Doesn't Matter," the singer is struggling with the aftermath of a past relationship. The opening lines reveal that they attempted to reach out to their ex, but were met with no response. Despite this, the singer is still trying to move forward and forget the past. However, the chorus suggests that they feel powerless to do so, as the ex will ultimately "get [their] way." The second verse shifts perspectives, with the ex leaving the singer a message that they are afraid to read. The singer acknowledges that healing from their split won't be easy, but reminds themselves to wait for time to heal their wounds. The song closes with a plea for the ex to remember the good times they shared.
"It Doesn't Matter" is a touching depiction of the emotional turmoil that can come with the end of a relationship. The lyrics show that even if one person is ready to move on, the pain and unresolved feelings can linger for some time. The melody matches the melancholic tone of the lyrics, with a pensive, slow-paced sound that underscores the sense of loss and uncertainty. Overall, the song is a testament to the power of music to capture complex and universal experiences like heartbreak and loss.
