It doesn’t matter if I cry

It doesn’t matter, no one sees

It doesn’t matter if I cry

For want of love

For want of thee.

It doesn’t matter if I speak

No one can turn my words away

It doesn’t matter if I speak

No one will hear

The words I say.

It doesn’t matter how I seem

What look is hiding in my eye

It doesn’t matter how I am

If I am happy,

If I cry.

It doesn’t matter if I’m here

No one to see

No one to hear.

It doesn’t matter

If I’m here

Or if I simply

Disappear.
