What Matters
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Did you forget about the passion
living day to day?
we keep our dreams locked down inside
choking on a lifetime
never take a chance
wake up one day wishing you tried
And it ain't about the money
it ain't about the time
it ain't about the love you lost or the things you think you leftbehind
it aint about your losing streak
makes you feel like you're falling apart
what matters is the heart
lets forget about the notion
we're not the same
my blood runs as red as yours
we all get angry
we've all been scared
we've all made big mistakes
that can never be repaired
And it ain't about the money
it ain't about the time
it ain't about the love you lost or the things you think you leftbehind
it aint about your losing streak
makes you feel like you're falling apart
what matters is the heart
Look me in the eye
take my hand
we can make a difference
we can make a difference,
I know we can
We forgot about the passion
living day to day
we kept our dreams locked down inside
choking on a lifetime
never take a chance
wake up one day wishing you tried
And it ain't about the money
it ain't about the time
it ain't about the love you lost or the things you think you leftbehind
it aint about your losing streak
makes you feel like you're falling apart
what matters is the heart
And it ain't about the money
it ain't about the time
it ain't about the love you lost or the things you think you leftbehind
it aint about your losing streak
makes you feel like you're falling apart
what matters
what really matters
what matters is the heart
