Lyrics
NO MATTER NEVER MIND
Mark Patterson & Lee Parvin
Copyright 2019
And so you tried to break away
Leave all your troubles behind
But you had no right to take away
The one thing that you swore was mine
I never would have guessed it that
You could be so unkind
Did I underestimate you?
Oh well - No matter - Never mind
The mysteries I pondered then
Remain unsolved by wiser men
But the truth is truth isn't always on your side
There's not much left in this old pen
Though it served me time and time again
The moment's lost before the ink has dried yeah
The muse is gone she's taken that sunset ride
So that's the way we left it
Kind of vague and undefined
Father time helped me accept it
I learned the heart can't be confined
And the one thing you have chased forever
You still can't seem to find
Who knows what dreams await you
Oh well - No matter - Never mind
There are some things that we chase forever
We're just not meant to find
Heaven knows why they escape you
Oh well - No matter - Never mind
Heaven knows why they escape you
Oh well - No matter - Never mind
Yeah yeah yeah - No matter - Never mind
