The news fell on me early on a Tuesday morning
And I smelled roses all afternoon
I overlooked all the signs and your forewarning
I mourned the funeral alone inside that room

It doesn’t matter now what I said
It doesn’t matter now what we did
It doesn’t matter now what you said
It doesn’t matter now what we did

Thank you for sparing me the invitation
To what should be the happiest day of your life
I know I have been nothing but a complication
Confusing my wrong with his right

It doesn’t matter now what I said
It doesn’t matter now what we did
It doesn’t matter now what you said
It doesn’t matter now what we did (or didn’t do)

You said you would always float downstream
Following the path laid out by another hand
That way your slate was always clean
And I suppose now you’ll blame it all on a little gold band

It doesn’t matter now what I said
It doesn’t matter now what we did
It doesn’t matter now what you said
It doesn’t matter now what we did

I said I felt for you and you didn’t really seem to mind
You said that you were sure that I was not wasting my time
We did the things that I knew better, better than to do
It seems that I wasted more, more than time on you

It doesn’t matter now what I said
It doesn’t matter now what we did
It doesn’t matter now what you said
It doesn’t matter now what we did
