about

“It Doesn’t Bother Me Now” – We all have experiences that linger and affect us for many years. We also have the opportunity to compassionately view those who may have hurt us. Sometimes we can let these wounds go, and sometimes we cannot. “With enough distance, I’d see your struggle and your influence would lose all its muscle. It used to bother me, but it doesn’t bother me now.”

lyrics

It Doesn’t Bother Me Now - Tina Ross

It doesn’t bother me, it doesn’t bother me now
I tried to swallow the tears as they burned their way down
The blur of voices and cutting words
A closed bedroom door dampened the judgement I heard
Maybe it should bother me,
but it doesn’t bother me now.

What you said to me, what you said to me then
Was a boomerang thrown over and over again
What a child hears a child believes
It takes years to undo the impression it leaves
Maybe it should bother me,
but it doesn’t bother me now.

Time and time I tried to let this go
As bitterness melted on my tongue
My lips parted to forgive
But the words awaited my permission.

What I didn’t know then, and what I’d know in time
Your pain would glance off me
and I would look you in the eye
With enough distance I’d see your struggle
And your influence would lose all its muscle
It used to bother me,
but it doesn’t bother me now.

Mmmm…

Even with that distance and the years we’ve been through
Last night I dreamt I carried a young me away from you
So maybe it still bothers me, a little bit now.
