Letra de What mattered most

I thought i knew the girl so well
she was sad i couldnt tell
i missed the point i missed the signs
so if shes gone the fault is mine
i know i know a whole lot of little things
and even though i could list them one by one
she would still be gone
Her eyes were blue her
hair was long
in '64 she was baton rouge
her favorite song is "in my life"
i memorized her every move
i knew her books her car her clothes
but i paid no attention to what matted most
I never asked she never said
and when she cried i turned my head
she dreamed her dreams behind closed doors
that made them easy to ignore
i know i know i missed the forest for the trees
and all i have to show
oh when she walked out the door
the cold facts and nothing more
Her eyes were blue her
hair was long
in '64 she was baton rouge
her favorite song is "in my life"
i memorized her every move
i knew her books her car her clothes
but i paid no attention to what matted most
Her eyes were blue her
hair was long
in '64 she was baton rouge
her fathers tall her mothers gone
she moved out west when she was two
the way she laughed the way she loved
oh my god what did i do
