Lyrics

If I mattered
You wouldn't do that
If I mattered
You wouldn't leave me like that
Spent so many nights
Trying to understand
Maybe the answer was
In your hands
I kept making room
For every little mistake
Calling it a bad day
Calling it heartbreak
Told myself you're tired
Told myself you'll change
Every time you crossed a line
I'd take half the blame
You said you needed space
I gave you all of mine
You stopped showing up
I called it bad timing
Funny how the truth
Was standing in plain sight
I just wasn't ready
To read it right
I kept looking for reasons
You kept giving me less
I kept holding the pieces
Of a thing you left
If I mattered
You wouldn't do that
If I mattered
You wouldn't leave me like that
You say love changes
Maybe that's true
But if I mattered
You would've cared how I broke too
If I mattered
You would've tried
At least one more time
Now I see your name
And it don't hit the same
Still a little sting
But not the kind that stays
I used to think
There was something wrong with me
Like I wasn't enough
For you to keep
But people fight
For what they can't lose
And people stay
When they really choose
Took me way too long
To finally understand
The answer wasn't hidden
It was how you left
You had every chance
To show me I was wrong
But silence gets loud
When it goes on too long
If I mattered
You wouldn't do that
If I mattered
You wouldn't leave me like that
You say love changes
Maybe that's true
But if I mattered
You would've cared how I broke too
If I mattered
You would've tried
At least one more time
Maybe I wasn't nothing
Maybe I wasn't small
Maybe I was important
Just not enough at all
And that's the part
That hurt the most
Not that you left
But how easily you let go
If I mattered
You wouldn't do that
If I mattered
You wouldn't leave me like that
Kept finding reasons
For everything you did
Now I finally see
What it really meant
If I mattered
You would've stayed
Or at least fought for us that day
If I mattered
Maybe not enough
If I mattered
Maybe not enough
And that's okay
I know now
