"No Matter What" lyrics

I could talk about the ways you let me down
I could talk about the summer that we don't talk about
I could tell you how I hoped that we'd work out
But what good would it do now?

Stacked up my reasons to stay till I ran out
Now you're in your new apartment, and I'm staying at our house
And I could say most days I wish you were around
But what good would it do now?

Maybe if we'd tried a little harder
If everything I wanted wasn't so exhausting
Maybe if we hurt a little longer
We could've gotten through it, it would've made us stronger
Or maybe it was always gonna end like this
No matter what we did

I can still picture the heartbreak on your face
Crying in the kitchen, in a second, it all changed
And I could say I think I made a big mistake
But what difference would it make?

Maybe if we'd tried a little harder
If everything I wanted wasn't so exhausting
Maybe if we hurt a little longer
We could've gotten through it, it would've made us stronger
Or maybe it was always gonna end like this
No matter what we did

I watched you drive away from me
Does it count for anything that I would've given anything not to let you go?
But maybe it's inevitable
Maybe even asking at all is telling me everything I need to know
But I still wonder

Maybe if we'd tried a little harder
If everything you gave me could've been enough
Baby, if we hurt a little longer
We could've gotten through it, we could've stayed in love
Or maybe it was always gonna end like this
No matter what we did

Maybe it was always gonna end like this
No matter what we did
