Waitress Cast - You Matter To Me Lyrics






[Dr. Pomatter:]
I could find the whole meaning of life in those sad eyes
They've seen things you never quite say, but I hear
Come out of hiding, I'm right here beside you
And I'll stay there as long as you'll let me

Because you matter to me
Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody
You matter to me
I promise you do, you, you matter too
I promise you do, you'll see
You matter to me

[Jenna:]
It's addictive the minute you let yourself think
The things that I say just might matter to someone
All of this time I've been keeping my mind on the running away
And for the first time, I think I'd consider the stay

Because you matter to me
Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody
You matter to me
I promise you do, you, you matter too
I promise you do, you'll see
You matter to me

Dear baby
I hope someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight
They don't pull away, they don't look at your face
And they don't try to kiss you
All they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight without an ounce of selfishness in it
I hope you become addicted, baby
I hope you become addicted to sayin' things
And having them matter to someone

[Both:]
You matter to me
Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody
You matter to me

[Jenna:]
I promise you do
[Dr. Pomatter:]
Come out of hiding I'm right here beside you
[Jenna:]
You, you matter too
[Dr. Pomatter:]
As long as you'll have me
[Jenna:]
I promise you do
[Dr. Pomatter:]
I do, promise you do
[Jenna:]
You matter to me
[Dr. Pomatter:]
You matter to me

[Both:]
You'll see
You matter to me

Waitress Cast You Matter To Me Comments
  1. P.... K....

    Ales, you matter to me. You warm my heart. You don't even know how much.

  2. V.... R....

    This is such an OTP song

  3. I.... M....

    Just almost had a panic attack in the middle of the night in a school night because I thought i broke my phone , hopefully this’ll calm me down

  4. b.... ....

    I once had a very good bad idea to spend some time with someone I shouldn't have and it turned into exactly this song for a long while. I've never seen what I felt with him accurately or adequately portrayed in any story- ever. This song matters to me.

  5. �.... ....

    그 슬픈 눈 속에서 너의 전부를 본 나

    너는 말한 적 없지만 난 알아 다

    내 손을 잡아 숨지 않아도 돼

    항상 너의 옆을 지켜줄게

    너는 내 삶의 의미

    너에게 난 더 바랄게 없어 충분해

    넌 나의 의미

    나 약속할게 나

    너의 곁에

    함께 있을게 평생

    넌 나의 의미

    여 - 빠져들어 스스로 깨닫는 순간

    나도 누군가에게 소중하단 걸

    언제나 나는 도망치고 살아왔었지만

    이제는 아니야 너의 손 놓치지 않아

    함께 - 너는 내 삶의 의미

    너에게 난 더 바랄게 없어 충분해

    넌 나의 의미

    나 약속할게 나 (내 손을 잡아 숨지 않아도 돼)

    너의 곁에 (옆을 지켜줄게 믿어^)

    나 약속할게 평생 (나 약속할게)

    넌 나의 의미

    알 아

    넌 나의 의미

    �.... ....

  6. K.... M....

    I forgot how amazing this song is! I'm seriously considering this for the father-daughter dance at my wedding

  7. D.... B....

    This gives me major Cosette vibes?

  8. L.... P....

    I'm a waitress newbie and have only listened to this song likd twice and I'm even crying now, listening to this

  9. R.... K....

    This song makes me feel so freaking lonely. I’m 16 and I’ve never had a boyfriend. Everywhere I go I see nothing but couples. Every single person I know has been in so many relationships. It just hurts so much.🥺🥺😔😔💔💔

  10. N.... N....

    Dear Evan Hansen vibes ✌️

  11. J.... P....

    Sara Bareilles is a genius songwriter.

    3:02 I hope you get addicted,baby-
    Wait what


    3:06: -to saying things and having them matter to someone
    Ooohhh

  26. k.... b....

    YOU poMATTER TO ME...

    k.... b....

    keiwa b you’ve just made my day 😂

    k.... b....

    Can't believe I never picked up on that before!!! Love it! Thanks.

  27. E.... ....

    I love this song because it's one of the few musical songs that is about love but isn't inherently romantic. It's so nice having a song I can listen to as an aroace person and think 'this is platonic'

    E.... ....

    Evie Adams Music That’s exactly how I feel about this song too! It’s awesome I’m not the only one who thinks that. ;)

    E.... ....

    Are you aroace?

    E.... ....

    Evie Adams Music I’m not. I just perceive the song the same way you do. :)

    E.... ....

    I'm on the aromantic spectrum and yes, this.

  28. L.... V....

    I love this song. It is so precious. Like he really does care about her and wants her to get away from Earl... I just am in love with Drew Gehlig and Jessie Mueller

  29. J.... V....

    Fits so many situations.

  30. c.... ....

    Someone hold me please

  31. T.... G....

    I’m not crying, you’re crying

  32. T.... G....

    “Its addictive the minute you let yourself think, the things i say just might matter to someone” gives me chills everytime

  33. S.... M....

    This song is powerful in its words yet so beautiful in its simplicity. It’s crazy. I want a 20 minute long hug with this song right now

  34. S.... S....

    This song makes my heart feel things. I hate the fact that I live so far away and can't see this. Greetings from Finland! 👋🇫🇮

  35. E.... P....

    Drew Gehling had me at 'come out of hiding i'm right here beside you' -- when they start harmonizing I DIE.

  36. M.... U....

    I'm not crying, you're crying.

  37. E.... K....

    I love this!!!!!!!

  38. P.... L....

    "You matter to me..." I hope whoever you love or will love will take care of you as much as I do. And you'll matter to them as much as you are to me.

  39. N.... J....

    Dear baby,
    I hope someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight. They don’t pull away, they don’t look at your face and they don’t try to kiss you all they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight without an ounce of selfishness to it, I hope you get addicted baby, I hope you become addicted to saying things, having a matter to someone.

    N.... J....

    Makes me bawl my eyes out every time

    N.... J....

    I should be doing my homework but I'm crying reading a comment from waitress. What has my life come to

  40. C.... R....

    WHY DO I HEAR CONNOR MURPHY SINGING???????????? edit : (from dear evan hansen)

  41. I.... ....

    Dear evan hanson, hamilton,waitress,the heathers all have similar sounding songs it is the perfect mashup.

    I.... ....

    IIKHALAII don't mention Hamilton in the presence of this.

  42. T.... Y....

    This song is matter to me 😍

  43. T.... K....

    I almost started crying in the middle of school during this holy hell

  44. S.... U....

    2:36 and 3:15 always make me bawl my eyes out, musicals always have this thing that gets me so emotional. You can really feel the charater with just as simple as music, and Waitress did it really fucking well. god im so glad i found this gem :')

  45. J.... !....

    hey guys the guy i like told me that the dialogue part is him talking to me and i don’t know if he’s trying to let me down easily or not lmao pls give insight

    J.... !....

    This is a year late but I gotta say that’s not the way people let you down

  46. m.... a....

    This song is the musical equivalent of being held for 20 minutes straight.

    m.... a....

    so true

    m.... a....

    m a c ! Wow. I never thought about it like that. Wow this song is so powerful yet beautiful in its simplicity.

  47. J.... ....

    right in the feels

  48. J.... P....

    Ugh this song is too beautiful. It really describes how they both want to comfort each other and how they just want someone to love them and just listen to their problems. I want something like that. I want to be able to love someone and show them how much I feel for them. I just want someone who understands me and that I can trust them no matter what (yes I do have trust issues) I guess that's something to much to ask for in this world huh😓😓

    J.... P....

    No, it's not. Even though I'm mostly happy with my single life, I still wish for the same thing as well. I've seen relationships that went downhill because the couples didn't have these qualities you wanted in a relationship. I think wishing to have someone for the things you asked for is the best of how I heard from anyone telling me why they want to be in a relationship.

    J.... P....

    @silver brandimations I agree with your statement. And to the original poster, I think that's the point of song, here you have two people who where never supposed to be together, yet they where. It doesn't matter what you've gone through (in Jenna's case is a lot) there IS that ONE person out there who you matter to more then anything in the world and sees you for who you are, not your circumstance. It may take time, but having someone care about you, isn't much to ask for and it is possible whatever the situation or past.

  49. e.... v....

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    e.... v....

    My heart during the song

  50. L.... G....

    Love this song

  51. t.... ....

    *I have chills in my bones. And I feel so warm inside.*

  52. D.... ....

    What I love about this song is that it acknowledges that they aren't in love, but they do matter to each other and that's what they want and need at the moment, which is truly beautiful

    D.... ....

    The kids count me know what works best with your friends

  53. S.... C....

    I love this song so much

  54. P.... P....

    I tear up every time I hear this song... it's so sweet and hits close to home, and it just has this nostalgic feeling to it... and the message of just having someone there to selflessly hold you and comfort you and care about you is such a beautiful thing that I desperately want as well... it's just so good, and safe, and gentle and nice...

  55. �.... C....

    I'm going through a break up and this is the first time I've ever listened to this someone hold me help

    �.... C....

    Maria Kofoed Pedersen a lots happened, no progression. just sadness.

    �.... C....

    Çinna Cåstle
    Well that's sad. I hope you will feĺl better. Good luck in the future. 🍀

    �.... C....

    Maria Kofoed Pedersen why thank you. 💓

    �.... C....

    Çinna Cåstle aawww poor dear. I feel your pain. A few months ago my ex assumed that we broke up even though we never really discussed anything and now we don't talk as much as we used to. What sucks even more is that he hangs out with my friend more than me and they've only known each other for less than half a year meanwhile Ive known him FOR LIKE 7-8 YEARS!! Not to mention that I think my friend is starting to develop feelings for him and I'm too confused on what I want and if I'm really in love with him. I guess the real pain is that the memories I created with him that were so special to me have become a whole entire memory including him. Note to self NEVER date your best friend😭😭😭 what really hits me in this song is that they just both want someone to care and love them for everything they've done and I want that to. I want to be able to love someone like that and just be gentle and caring with that special someone. Huh I guess that's something too much to ask for in this world isn't it??😓😓 Whenever I'm at school walking to my next class I just see him laughing with my friend and I'm just there thinking "what did I do wrong?" Or "how can I even like you even after all that's gone through us?" Sometimes we do make eye contact and stare and I'm the one that turns away or just gives him a light smile. My friend knows that I like him and that we dated but I guess she doesn't get that feeling of when you finally realize that you've finally lost the one thing that you had actually close to your childhood😭😭😭

    �.... C....

    @Jennifer Pineda i hope you doing ok. Youre in my thoughts and prayers. Dont be afraid to love someone. Just because your ex doesnt love you back doesnt mean no one will ever love you. You have to learn to let go, which can be the hardest thing in the world, but it will feel so much better when it happens. Trust me, it feels amazing. Like I said, youre in my prayers.

    G.... D....

    Yes I am

  63. -.... ....

    this lowkey reminds me of only us from dear evan hansen

    -.... ....

    -Lore- The melody at the begining is a lot like Requiem

    -.... ....

    -Lore-
    And 'It only takes a taste' reminds me of 'If I could tell her', is that weird?

    -.... ....

    Someone actually made a mashup of the two.

    -.... ....

    -Lore- yeah omg

    -.... ....

    Yes! It’s more like Requiem though.....

  64. s.... ....

    0:33 I will sing no requiem -- I hear you voice I feel you near

    s.... ....

    HyperMarshsmollow can't unhear

  65. A.... M....

    So beautiful. :')

  66. S.... &....

    I just recorded a cover of this amazing song, if anyone wants to check it out and give me some feedback that would be much appreciated :)

  67. P.... ....

    That first verse makes me cry every time. And I'm not a crier.

  68. M.... M....

    notcryingnotcryingnotcrying

  69. p.... ....

    Who else is crying?

  70. L.... G....

    I just have a stick in my eye

    L.... G....

    i really shouldnt have laughed this hard at a comment like this but omg

  71. Y.... A....

    I love this song so much I think I contributed 1000 views to this video

  72. G.... A....

    this is a better love ballad than As long as you're mine

    G.... A....

    More like Our Love is God

    G.... A....

    Theatre Nerd omg same

    G.... A....

    As much as I love Wicked, I have to agree, because Sara incorporated some of the actual dialogue from the movie into this song. And let me just say, I’d love to sing this song to someone or have it sung to me because it’s so beautiful. ❤️

    G.... A....

    @Lilith Green I agree- Even probably a duet-

    G.... A....

    I like as long as your mine better as a song but I like the words and meaning better for you matter to me

  73. C.... G....

    Most beautiful song ever

  74. E.... B....

    This song makes me so sad.

  75. C.... P....

    the beauty of this musical is how simply stated everything is worded... but it drives deep to core. that damn Sara Bareilles always makes me cry. And Jessie Mueller sings with so much emotion and heart. GAH!!

  76. M.... P....

    Why is this so underrated and poorly publicised!? It's so incredible it deserves more views!!

    M.... P....

    IKR! Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen and Heathers are so popular so WHYY!!!!

    M.... P....

    wait until high schools start doing it... Be patient.

    M.... P....

    I don't think they're popular.
    I mean, THEY ARE, but not in all countries. For exemple, no one knows Hamilton in my high school

    M.... P....

    I agree

    M.... P....

    The musical or this specific song?






    (I agree on both accounts, just curious)

  77. t.... ....

    I really love this song!<3

  78. L.... P....

    this is stunning :)

  79. K.... H....

    I love this song.

  80. f.... ....

    Woah, just woah

  81. K.... D....

    This is definitely one of my favorites from Waitress. And the picture in the background somehow really goes well with the tone of the song

  82. C.... S....

    This song is so beautiful

  83. A.... ....

    *Thank you* for uploading these songs, they are wonderful and SHUT UP I'M NOT CRYING

    A.... ....

    Arianna WE'RE ALL CRYING <\3

    A.... ....
