Lyrics

It doesn't matter, if I were willing

The willingness on my part doesn't make a difference.

It doesn't matter that the lights are tender, love.

The ambiance or atmosphere of affectionate moments doesn’t matter, my love.

Oh, oh, I know you have to go.

Expressing recognition that you have to depart or leave.

It doesn't matter, I fought my heart,

It doesn’t matter, I struggled with my emotions.

It's broken, shattered to a million and one.

My heart is deeply broken and fragmented into numerous pieces.

I'm done, I guess I haven't won.

Feeling finished or concluded, acknowledging a lack of victory.


'Cause I could've been your girl

Expressing a sentiment that the singer could have occupied the role of being romantically involved with the listener.

And you could've been my four leaf clover.

Suggesting that the listener could have been a symbol of luck or good fortune to the singer.

If I could do it over I'd send you the pillow that I cry on.

If given the chance to redo things, the singer would share their emotional vulnerability by sending the listener the pillow they cry on.


It doesn't matter, I just begun,

Indicating that it doesn’t matter, the singer has only just started something.

And if you see me, just move on,

Advising the listener that if they encounter the singer, they should move forward or continue without dwelling on the past.

'Cause we are free and never meant to be.

Asserting that both individuals are liberated and were not destined to be together.


'Cause I could've been your girl

Reiterating the feeling of potentially being in a romantic relationship with the listener.

And you could've been my four leaf clover.

Reinforcing the notion that the listener could have been a symbol of good luck or fortune to the singer.

If I could do it over I'd send you the pillow that I cry on.

If given another chance, the singer would share their emotional vulnerability by sending the listener the pillow they cry on.


'Cause I could've been your girl

Repeating the idea that the singer could have been romantically involved with the listener.

And you could've been my four leaf clover.

Reiterating that the listener could have been a symbol of luck or good fortune to the singer.

If I could do it over I'd send you the pillow that I cry on.

If given the chance for a do-over, the singer would share their emotional vulnerability by sending the listener the pillow they cry on.


'Cause I could've been your girl

Re-emphasizing the feeling of potentially being in a romantic relationship with the listener.

And you could've been my four leaf clover.

Reiterating the idea that the listener could have been a symbol of good luck or fortune to the singer.

If I could do it over I'd send you the pillow that I cry on.

If given another chance, the singer would share their emotional vulnerability by sending the listener the pillow they cry on.
