Important at the Time

It’s funny what seemed important at the time
Now it doesn’t mean anything
Not anything at all I thought that it’d last forever
But no, it didn’t last long at all
What I poured my heart into
All the time I wasted
Did it mean anything at all?
Just another mistake
Just another regret
Look at me
Aren’t I piling them on?
But it seemed important at the time
Boy was I wrong
It wasn’t even close to sublime
It wasn’t even long
A speedy recovery
Or so it seemed
It just seemed important at the time
