Would It Matter

Skillet · Awake (Deluxe) [2009]

If I wasn't here tomorrow would anybody care

If my time was up I'd wanna know

You were happy I was there

If I wasn't here tomorrow would anyone lose sleep

If I wasn't hard and hollow

Then maybe you would miss me

I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone

Someone that I'd like better

I can never forget, so don't remind me of it forever



What if I just pulled myself together

Would it matter at all

What if I just tried not to remember

Would it matter at all

All the chances that have passed me by

Would it matter if I gave it one more try

Would it matter at all



If I wasn't here tomorrow would anybody care

Still stuck inside this sorrow

I got nothin' and going nowhere

I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone

Someone that I'd like better

I can never forget, so don't remind me of it forever



What if I just pulled myself together

Would it matter at all

What if I just tried not to remember

Would it matter at all

All the chances that have passed me by

Would it matter if I gave it one more try

Would it matter at all



I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone

Someone that I'd like better

Can you help me forget, don't wanna feel like this forever

Forever



What if I just pulled myself together

Would it matter at all

What if I just tried not to remember

Would it matter at all

All the chances that have passed me by

Would it matter if I gave it one more try



If I left tomorrow would anybody care

Stuck in this sorrow

Going nowhere

All the chances that have passed me by

Would it matter if I gave it one more try

Would it matter at all
