Ugly Duckling - It Never Mattered lyrics

Why'd you have to go and leave me out in the cold I was too young, so how could I know You didn't give me a light when I tried to grow And then you jetted out and took a piece of my soul Sticks and stones may chip at your bones Especially when they hit so close to home But I cut all the losses, buried all the skeletons Dropped all the grudges, I can be myself again That's the past and I'm moving on fast And I won't blame you for the cause of collapse They say you've got to live to forgive and forget Cause holding on to it is a bigger regret All of the words they said That debts been paid in full All of the things they did I can let it go, I can let it go The hate, the hurt, the fear, the pride It all just disappear when I conceed [Chorus:] It never mattered at all It never mattered at all It never mattered at all None of the words they said It never mattered at all None of the things they did It never mattered at all I feel sick when I go over my resume Both at who I am and things I did yesterday Fantasizing I could take it back But it's a wasted act, have to face the fact that I've got to live with the pain I've caused And walk amongst those who sustained to loss Picking up the pieces of broken trust When their hopes were crushed down to smoke and dust I said I didn't know and played the role beautifully Then I abandoned you when it suited me It's a stain that I can't erase And I'm ashamed but I can only ask for grace cause All of the words they said That debts been paid in full All of the things they did You can let it go, you can let it go The hate, the hurt, the fear, the pride It all just disappear when we conceed [Chorus] It never mattered at all It never mattered at all It never mattered at all It never mattered at all
