Matters

Lyrics by：Ina Wroldsen

Composed by：Ina Wroldsen/Mike Elizondo

I'd tell you that I got so many matters on my mind

Got so many matters

And I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

Tough skin covering my bones

Veins and muscle holds it all together

And I try to get stronger and better

Push-ups and pull-ups and head up high

Like my father used to tell me

But tough skin shivers in the cold

Veins and muscle lose control

And you think I am made out of marble

But I am barely a mortal

And if you put down your chisel and listen

I'd tell you that I'm so tired of these expectations

I'm so tirеd and I'm so afraid

I'm not any of the things you make me out to bе

I'd tell you that I got so many matters on my mind

Got so many matters

And I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

I got so many matters on my head

Don't say it doesn't matter

'Cause I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

Strong face covering my fear

Strong coat but I'm human here

And I am balancing all this angst with ambition

I am my own opposition

If I could get you to listen

I'd tell you that I'm so tired of these expectations

I'm so tired and I'm so afraid

I'm not any of the things you make me out to be

I'd tell you that I got so many matters on my mind

Got so many matters

And I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

I got so many matters on my head

Don't say it doesn't matter

'Cause I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

Oh oh oh

I'm trying not to but they weigh me down

I'm so tired I'm so tired

I'll tell you that I'm not any of the things

You make me out to be

I'd tell you that I got so many matters on my mind

Got so many matters

And I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

I got so many matters on my head

Don't say it doesn't matter

'Cause I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

Oh oh oh

Oh

I'm trying not to but they weigh me down
