[Verse 1]
I waited up for your call
But the phone don't ring no more
Tell me, love, where you been?
I've climbed the walls
Probably more times than I've done before
Can't erase everything

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I was chasing something that wasn't there
And I know I left you waiting but I swear I always cared

[Chorus]
'Cause you matter, you matter to me
I will treasure every memory I keep
And I hate the man that I've become
I'm praying you can see
That you matter, it matters to me

[Verse 2]
Left you alone in the cold
When you needed me the most
Broken hearts needed mending
I always thought you'd come back
I guess karma slipped through the cracks
Now it's flowers that I'm sending
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I was chasing something that wasn't there
And I know I left you waiting but I swear I always cared

[Chorus]
'Cause you matter, you matter to me
I will treasure every memory I keep
And I hate the man that I've become
I'm praying you can see
That you matter, it matters to me

[Bridge]
And it's likely that you moved on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way
All that I wanted to say is

[Chorus]
You matter, you matter to me
I will treasure every memory I keep
And I hate the man that I've become
I'm praying you can see
That you matter, that you matters to me
