Never Really Mattered Lyrics by Akon & Simien

It never really mattered too much to me, to me (Konvict)
It never really mattered too much to me, to me
It never really mattered too much to me, to me

It never really mattered too much
I had too many women, living life like a rockstar
It never really mattered too much
I shoulda slowed my roll, but instead, I went too far

You keep on crying ’cause you just can’t let me go
Had every right, baby, ’cause I was straight tripping
Cheating and lying, I’m turning ’round, blaming you
I need you back, am I worth you forgiving?

It never really mattered too much
Girl, I’m pouring everything I got to show you that I’m sorry
It never really mattered too much
The truth is nothing really mattered ’til I lost my baby

We kissed, we laughed (Yeah)
We fell too fast (Yeah)
How’d we get like that? (Don’t know, yeah)
How’d we get like that? Oh (Don’t know, baby)
We stood up too fast (Yeah)
We thought we’d last (Yeah)
How’d we get like that? (Don’t know, yeah)
How’d we get like that? Oh (Don’t know, baby)

It never really mattered too much
To mе, I thought I had it all
It never really mattеred too much
‘Til you up and left me, then I realized I made the wrong call

It never really mattered too much
‘Til my heart came out my chest, I knew, without you, I can’t fix it
It never really mattered too much
Everything that I denied, girl, you was right, you know I did it
It never really mattered too much
To me long as it wasn’t me hurting
It never really mattered too much
I know now you did not deserve

To keep on crying ’cause you just can’t let me go (It never really mattered too much)
Had every right, baby, ’cause I was straight tripping (To me)
Cheating and lying, I’m turning ’round, blaming you (It never really mattered too much)
I need you back, am I worth you forgiving?

It never really mattered too much
Girl, I’m pouring everything I got to show you that I’m sorry
It never really mattered too much
The truth is nothing really mattered ’til I lost my baby

We kissed, we laughed (Yeah)
We fell too fast (Yeah)
How’d we get like that? (Don’t know, yeah)
How’d we get like that? Oh (Don’t know, baby)
We stood up too fast (Yeah)
We thought we’d last (Yeah)
How’d we get like that? (Don’t know, yeah)
How’d we get like that? Oh (Don’t know, baby)

It doesn’t really matter too much to me
You used to be so in love with me
I remember I just wanted you to be my girlfriend
Now you don’t even say hello to me
