It Really Doesn't Matter

He told her he was leaving, she said well that's ok He said with some deflation is that all you've got to say It's been ten years since first we met and you don't seem to care That now our time has ended you don't shed a single tear She said It really doesn't matter, doesn't matter all Life goes on, I'll carry on I'll stumble, but I won't fall Don't get me wrong, I love you as much as any woman can But I won't be a slave to a heartache not for you or any man She told him that his job was gone, he said well that's ok She said with some relief, is that all you've got to say I'm sure you know at your time of life that work is hard to find He said I know but if it's time to go I'll look ahead and not behind He said It really doesn't matter, doesn't matter all Life goes on, I'll carry on I'll stumble but I won't fall Don't get me wrong I love this work and feel a heavy sense of loss But I won't be a slave to the dice that are played Not by you or any boss And I say It really doesn't matter, doesn't matter all Life goes on, we carry on We stumble but don't have to fall Don't get me wrong, I know it's hard When all we have is built on sand But don't be a slave to the paths that are laid Just do the best you can No don't be a slave to the paths that are laid Just do the best you can -+
