It Matters

Firehose · Ragin, Full-on [1986]

How to say

It when it don't come

Not trying to be vague

But silent anyway

Confusion

With a smile and a sigh



And glad for a friend though

They rarely know it matters

It matters



If it don't come

The tears still do

If the smile's not there

They could turn away

If not love shows

There may be none received



And glad for a friend though

They rarely know it matters



Always needing help

Never do enough

For anyone

Can't do enough

Never strong enough

For myself



It should work

But mistakes take over

Bad out-weighs good

Hardly believing it

Never accepting it

So disappointed



And glad for a friend though

They rarely know it matters
