Lyrics:Sometimes he lets that boss get in his head
He can't past that mountain of deadlines on his desk
5oclock he's that 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
Till he hears that little voice "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 date
That 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 my side
Don't want to 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
Thinking I got all the answers
Don't need anybody's help
Well 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
Not long after we lost momma, I had a huge fight with the man I call daddy. His son, my step brother called me up in tears one afternoon. He's in a coma, stroke, its not looking good, his heart has stopped twice. I've never driven that fast, never prayed that hard, never begged God so much to just take me instead. He's recovering now, but I will never forget to tell him I love him and to just let anger go again....I'm so thankful I didn't miss my chance.
God has got a DESTINY for your dad still ready to forfill, if he is still alive, he WILL change. Have FAITH. My dad's an alcoholic and I pray for him everyday. I don't see a change either, but I KNOW he is in God's hands, and God KNOWS what he is doing. And It will ALWAYS work out in the end. "Now you see dimly through a window, but soon you shall see face to face what the Lord has in store."
God BLESS YOU! Stay in faith. ♥♥
LOVE LOVE LOVE,
Mary
This is such a powerful song, and one of the reasons why I love Rascal Flatts. They INCLUDE God in their music, and have such a message with their songs.
This is what I LOVE about Rascal Flatts...they write songs for almost all emotions...inspirational ones that can make you smile, or cry, and really fun ones to sing along to when your sad!
This song makes me think of my Dad. Me and him were always stuck to each other when I was little. Everything we did, was together no matter what it was, Mowing the lawn, making birdhouses or just sitting in the driveway playing around the world with the basketball. Now, he has a girlfriend, of 4 years. We no longer do anything together because she's always all up in is face. I just want the Dad i had when I was 6 back. Now im 15, hes missing out on so much. I love you Dad
my grandmother and granddad died 5 years ago i still miss them and it hurts really bad still. but what keeps me from crying and breaking down is thinking of how great they were and keeping all the happy memories with me. i belive they are still alive but in a different world
Demi obviously brought me here as well. This song really opened my eyes. I have gone through very similar relationship with my father as Demi at a young age. My dad was given 2 more years to live recently. When I got that call I didn't want to open up but the more I think about it and the more I think about waisting his life leaving myself with "what if's" and so on really inspires me and push me to getting ahold of his soon before time runs out. Thank you Demi for brining me to listening to this song. Ily. Stay strong and RIP Patrick Lovato.
stay strong everything gonna be alright
I like each song sung by Rascal Flatts, they are full of love floating in the air, for me is like turning back the time every time I hear these songs !!!!
Here because of Demi... I want to hug her so much right now. This songs hurts, and I don't know how she can handle this. She's really a warrior. I love her so much.
Demi you won't ever read this probably but I love you and remember lovatics are always there for you. Always. Stay strong. We love you. RIP Patrick Lovato.
With a Dad that drinks, he missed a lot. But when time comes and he is called home, The past will be the past. I still love him.
My dad died when I was 8 (I'm 24 now) he definitely didn't choose to leave but you never stop being angry (in general) for it. This song has just gotten right to me now :(
my dad has missed a lot, me growing up, i miss him and wish he was still with my, im always gonna b his little girl and never let him go
She's happier now hun, and out of her suffering smiling down at you. :) God BLESS YOU ♥
LOVE LOVE LOVE,
Mary
Here for Demi too
This song reminds me of my Grandpa. He only came into my life a few months before he passed away. I spent a lot of my life mad at him, thinking I hated him, hated everything he put my mom through by not being there. My mom was mad too. I knew she was. All I knew was anger, until I met him. I'm so sorry Grandpa. I wish we had had more time, with all heart I wish I could've gotten to know you. In the end I know you regretted missing so much. No one tried as hard as they should've. RIP Grandpa Bert
This song describes my dad perfectly, however I am no longer mad at him. After two years of holding a grudge and hating him, I can honestly say I am in a place where I can finally forgive him. It takes a lot of strength and will power to forgive someone and I don't think we can find that strength without God. 💚
I felt your pain but with my mom
I think that this is one of the best songs that Rascal Flatts has ever put out
My Dad left me when i was 3 years old . My mom passed away that year . I was adopted . But the second that my dad needed me, 13 years later, I was there .
Demi brought me here, and I'm here for her. I think that.. this song means a lot for her. RIP Patrick Lovato
Here cause i love rascal flatts...
R.I.P Patrick you gave the world 2 very beautiful and talented Angels and lovatics are forever grateful Stay strong Demi
I'm here because I love rascal flatts . I hope to one day find the strength to let go of the grudges I hold.
My dad got on drugs and started doing stupid stuff like breaking promises and i have had a bitterness towards him every time i see him but i still love him :/ but i fear he'll never change
There is not enough money in this world that can bring back people, so treasure them while they are here xxxx
This is the way Rascal Flatts say don't ""weat the small stuff". My mother would tell me Nothing will matter a hundred years from now. Just keep breathing in and out. Know that you have help if you want it. Hope everything is much better for you. Love and prayers.
Rascal flatts is my favorite country band ever
What a good song, makes you think and realize just what is important and the other little things can wait.
Demi please stay strong! Lovatics are here for you!
When my dad left my family, I wanted to die. He hurt me in ways that can never be fully repaired. I still hurt when I talk about him 7 years later. But this song taught me to forgive him because after all he is my Dad, one and only. Thank you Rascal Flatts for this song, you saved me and my relationship with my father.
my fav part is when he sings ''things that matter, things that dont'' its awesome!
I really didnt know much i miss my dad until now May your perfect soul rest in peace and one day we shall meet again
Demi your lovatics are always with you
Demi brought me here. This song is so sad it made me cry
I cryed the whole song... poor Demi...
Each and every Rascal Flatts songs are 10 plus thank you for putting lyrics on screen.
This Song Means Alot To Me!
Ps. I have Four grand daughters and one grand son. Cant bring back the lost years but we can damn sure try. I love this song and I have always loved my Girls with every bit of my heart and sole. >> Things that matter, things that don't.
Some things just don't matter; Just let it go. For all of us. and certainly a wonderful Wyoming cowboy
I know what you mean. When I was in 5th grade I always had to ride the bus home and that day I was picked up by my dads girlfriend and I got home and my dad was crying I knew that my Grandpa was gone. I'm a 10th grader now and I will never forget the look on his face.
Listen to the lyrics and Rascal Flatt's songs have a lesson in living.
R.I.P Patrick 💔 We're here with Demi, always
Demi stay strong! I love you!

RIP Patrick Lovato 💕
Talking about a song that sounds a lot like your life story, this one is in a big part my and my two Daughters story.
Married in 1979 we had 1st girl in 1980 second in 1982, I was told I was dying from heart failure and I mean from the hospital I was in they told me and my wife to prepare for my death. She left me for another. Long story, I was saved later by open heart surgery but my Girls and I were robed of 30 years for real, after many attempts we are starting to talk again. It's great.
I'm really crying right now while I'm wondering how is Demi's heart. RIP Patrick Lovato
R.I.P Patrick Lovato ♡

Demi my angel
Demi 😥😰😭💔
here for demi
About the part about the woman and her father, as much as I like this song, that "She walks in, he starts crying, the past is gone. Things that matter, things that don't" got me very mad. It seemed like it was saying that the pain and anger of a child whose parent abandoned them is not valid and doesn't matter. I have an abusive father, and I don't know if, when I'll hear that he doesn't have long, all he did to me will magically be gone. It doesn't work like that at all, and my pain and anger do matter. If someone says they don't, he or she clearly didn't go through the same thing as I did. I'm happy they didn't, but don't say certain things about something you don't really know about (because if you didn't go through a certain thing, you can't really know what it's like).
I love the rest of this song, especially the first part, with the man and his child, but that second one got me mad, since I can relate to it a lot.
I don't believe in the song that it said the child's pain didn't matter. I hope you are doing well now, Lucy, and stay safe!
Here from Demi
amen ✌️
Here for Demi.. RIP Patrick Lovato
How most of us are here cause Demi. My poor baby i hope she's ok
