What Matters Most

John Lee

I wish I had the words to say 

But nothing makes up for the day

That ripped us apart

 

I know I should've listened

When you said it was witching

But I was too far

 

Away from here

Today I'm near

To what matters most

 

Although I'm just a ghost

I cry out from the shadows

All I want from the sorrows

Is what matters most

 

Everything from within

Just wants everyone to win

But I know that I've lost

And I know at what cost

 

If only I knew then

If only forgiveness

Played a role in our hearts

Maybe love wouldn't be

Pulled and torn apart 

 

All the years passed by 

And those days are gone

But these tears won't dry

Until I'm finally home

 

The one you knew isn't who I've become

As I don't realize just who you are

We've only wanted to be someone

And maybe those people aren't too far

From what matters most..
