"Because It Mattered" lyrics

(Ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah)

I spend all my days in California, little older
I sit in where we came, 'cause sittin' here just not the same

So tell me, baby
If we could do it all over again, would you love me like you did
Or work it out just as friends?

Oh, tell me, baby, what's it all for?
Was it everything you wanted, and more?

(Hello) we're oceans away, feels out of place
Is it only right if it's easy?
There's no taking it back
But if we had a chance, would you need me?

It only hurt because it mattered
The proof is in the pain
And even though you're gone now, it doesn't mean it gonna change

'Cause I remember sittin' solo on the train
I was headin' through the East side, even in the pouring rain
There's no place I would rather stay
Just another night with you, soft lips, and a pillowcase

And if I had to do it all again
I would take you by the hand and drive off to a better place
I'd give you every day that I had
I would cherish every moment like the last

(Hello) we're oceans away, feels out of place
Is it only right if it's easy?
There's no taking it back
But if we had a chance, would you need me?

It only hurt because it mattered
The proof is in the pain
And even though you're gone now, it doesn't mean it gonna change

'Cause I remember sittin' solo on the train
I was headin' through the East side, even in the pouring rain
There's no place I would rather stay
Just another night with you, soft lips, and a pillowcase

(Hello) we're oceans away, feels out of place
Is it only right if it's easy?
There's no taking it back
But if we had a chance, would you need me?

It only hurt because it mattered
The proof is in the pain
And even though you're gone now, it doesn't mean it gonna change

'Cause I remember sittin' solo on the train
I was headin' through the East side, even in the pouring rain
There's no place I would rather stay
Just another night with you, soft lips, and a pillowcase

(Another night with you)
(Another night with you)
(Another night with you)
