Lyrics for It Doesn't Matter to Him

If I think about it, I am successful as it were I get to sing for lovely people all over this lovely world And I am nowhere near as awkward as I was when I was younger I guess I'm one of those guys who gets better looking as they age And even though I have been beaten down by constant doubt, The pressure and confusion brought about by people's actions, death, and tax forms I keep getting up and I am loved by all my friends and family Though there have been lots of raised eyebrows Hints and glances lately It doesn't matter to him I could be anything But I could never win his heart again It doesn't matter to him He took away my AAA pass I am invisible to him And now I feel the soft, pink flesh of my heart hardening To the countless possibilities contained within each day Vulnerability feels like a cold, wet concrete room lit with fluorescent light Which, as you know, makes everything look bad I still keep trying to figure out how I became irrelevant How I got myself evicted from his heart from one day to the next And the worst part is that even if I got an answer right now It would not change anything because we have become two strangers [Repeat x2] It doesn't matter to him I could be anything But I could never win his heart again It doesn't matter to him He took away my AAA pass I am invisible to him
