It Doesn't Matter to Him

  • If I think about it, I am successful as it were
    I get to sing for lovely people all over this lovely world
    And I am nowhere near as awkward as I was when I was younger
    I guess I'm one of those guys who gets better looking as they age
    And even though I have been beaten down by constant doubt,
    The pressure and confusion brought about by people's actions, death, and tax forms
    I keep getting up and I am loved by all my friends and family
    Though there have been lots of raised eyebrows
    Hints and glances lately

    It doesn't matter to him
    I could be anything
    But I could never win his heart again
    It doesn't matter to him
    He took away my AAA pass
    I am invisible to him

    And now I feel the soft, pink flesh of my heart hardening
    To the countless possibilities contained within each day
    Vulnerability feels like a cold, wet concrete room lit with fluorescent light
    Which, as you know, makes everything look bad
    I still keep trying to figure out how I became irrelevant
    How I got myself evicted from his heart from one day to the next
    And the worst part is that even if I got an answer right now
    It would not change anything because we have become two strangers

    [Repeat x2]
    It doesn't matter to him
    I could be anything
    But I could never win his heart again
    It doesn't matter to him
    He took away my AAA pass
    I am invisible to him Writer/s: BIRGIR THORARINSSON, JOHN GRANT
