Rascal Flatts- Things That Matter [Lyrics]

The song Things That Matter from Rascal Flatts' cd Unstoppable♥
Lyrics:
Sometimes he lets that boss get
In his head
He can't see past that mountain
Of deadlines on his desk
Five o'clock, he's the last one
Out of the gate
And he gets cut off, flipped off, ticked off
Out on the interstate
And he wonders why this world won't
Leave him alone
Til he hears that little voice holler
Daddy's home

Things that matter
Things that don't

She's held on to that grudge
All her life
And thirty years of anger
Since her dad walked out that night
She thinks of all the moments
That he's missed
All the birthdays, ballets, first dates
It seems too much to forget
She gets that call that said he
Don't have long
She walks in, he starts crying
The past is gone

Things that matter
Things that don't

Time ain't on our side
Don't wanna leave this world
With why didn't I, why didn't I
Yeah, why didn't I

Sometimes I take on this world
By myself
Thinkin' I got all the answers
Don't need anybody's help
When God was right there waiting
For me all along
To fall down on my knees
Surrender all

Things that matter, things that don't
Things that matter, things that don't

@felnfrgyer Try to just enjoy what time you have left.. no one is perfect and he really needs you now and you really need him right now.. you wont get this time back, remember you don't want to hold any regret about your actions during this important time. I hope you find peace.

I hope you find/found the strength to "let it go". Life is so sort. Although he will undoubtededly lose his battle, you will carry on. Don't carry on with the weight of knowing you didn't....hold onto "things that matter" and toss "things that don't". I wish you all the best! There ARE reasons why people do what they do. Best of luck. <3 Beth

My Father has been told he has 3 kinds of cancer. He is in stage 4. I have never had a relationship with him. He abandon me and my Mother when I was 13. This song hit home HARD! I still hold so much against him, I know I need to let it go.....It is soo hard! This song is AMAZING! I HAVE to let it all go...but....you know....It is hard!

My dad left when I was 3... He came back into my life when I turned 30 he had a brain tumor and I took care of him (with help from assisted living and nursing homes) I got to spend4yr with him before he passed away... This song says it ALL he missed Every event in my life, but after hearing him say Im sorry,THE PAST WAS GONE..... I was so blessed to get to know him... My entire FAMILY CRIED WHEN WE HEARD THIS... IT WAS LIKE IT WAS WROTE FOR US..... I WISH HE COULD'VE HEARD IT :)
