It Mattered To Me
Love and Loss: Unveiling the Emotional Tapestry in 'It Mattered To Me'
Lyrics
It mattered to me
Expressing personal significance or importance.
When you took love that mattered
Highlighting the impact of taking away meaningful love.
It mattered to me
Reiterating the importance of the matter.
When you left it in tatters
Noting the emotional distress caused by leaving love in ruins.
It mattered to me
Repeating the emotional weight of the situation.
Did it matter to you?
Pose a question about whether the matter is significant to the other person.
Everyone has something that matters
Generalizing that everyone has something important to them.
But they didn't know
Not being aware of the importance until it is damaged.
Until that something shatters
Highlighting the realization that comes after the damage.
It mattered to me
Reiterating the personal significance of the matter.
It mattered to me
Emphasizing the continued importance of the matter.
The windows were open
Setting the scene with open windows and closed minds.
Our minds were locked up
Indicating a lack of communication or understanding.
I said something tasteless
Acknowledging a tasteless comment.
And filled up my cup
Using alcohol to cope with the situation.
I shared it with you
Sharing something inadequate as if it were enough.
As if that were enough
Suggesting a failed attempt to make things matter.
To make something matter
Stressing the need for substance to give meaning.
Like love mattered to me
Connecting the attempt to matters of love.
Well it mattered to me
Reaffirming the personal importance like something significant.
Like something important
Comparing the importance to something valuable.
Like some kind of treasure that we left behind
Reflecting on something precious left behind.
It wasn't like we, had some kind of falling out
Clarifying that there wasn't a falling out but a loss of understanding.
Maybe we just stopped knowing how to be kind
Suggesting a breakdown in the ability to be kind.
And it mattered to me
Stressing the personal impact when a friend is hurt.
When a friend got so cut up
Describing the emotional distress of a friend.
By somebody who
Pointing out the need for someone to stop speaking.
Needed to shut up
Highlighting the importance of empathy.
It's called empathy
Identifying the quality needed in the current situation.
We need more of that now
Advocating for increased empathy in general.
It mattered to me
Reiterating the personal significance of the matter.
Yes, it mattered to me
Emphasizing the enduring importance of the matter.
Baby, baby, baby
Concluding with a repeated emphasis on the personal impact.
