Shouldn’t Matter but It Does Songtext
von John Mayer

Should′ve been open
Should've done more
Should′ve learned a lesson from the year before
Should've been honest
Should've just cried
Should′ve told me there was nothing left inside

Now the road keeps rolling on forever
And the years keep pulling us apart

We lost something, I still wonder what it was
It shouldn′t matter
Shouldn't matter, but it does

You should′ve just broken
You should've come clean
You should′ve been sad instead of being so fucking mean
It shouldn't be easy
But it shouldn′t be hard
You shouldn't be a stranger in your own backyard


Now the road keeps rolling on forever
And the years keep pulling us apart
I know it's over, I′m just saying this because
It shouldn′t matter
It shouldn't matter, but it does

I shouldn′t be angry
I shouldn't hold on
I shouldn′t leave you messages in every little song
It could've been always
It could′ve been me
We could've been busy, naming baby number three

Now the road keeps rolling on forever
And the years keep pulling us apart
If it's on someone, then I blame the both of us
It shouldn′t matter
Shouldn′t matter, but it
Shouldn't matter
Shouldn′t matter, but it
Shouldn't matter
Shouldn′t matter, but it does
