Leonard Cohen - Doesn’t Matter lyrics
[Leonard Cohen - Doesn’t Matter lyrics]
It really doesn't matter, and i don't say
It doesn't matter
In order to hurt you into feeling:
That it DOES MATTER
That it REALLY DOES MATTER not at all
Not at all i stand beside you
In the midst of this vast enterprise
Of human activity and desire
Deafened by the noise of my own heart
Twisted by an appetite
For justice and for peace
And i look at you, the one i tried to love
The one who tried to love me
And it comes to us
From the place where we began
The place where we will end
A voice that includes
Your voice, and my voice, and we are
Gathered together, we are born together
And we die in each other's arms
And it is heard as a mighty voice
Or a gentle voice, a whispered voice
Or a thundered voice, above all
The voice that we most desperately
Long to hear
It is the voice that can forgive us
And it says, it doesn't matter
Darling, it is the truth
The truth of all forgiving
Listen now listen from
The wreck of your baffled love
It is the truth, the very truth
Of all forgiving it doesn't matter darling
It really doesn't matter
