I Don't Mind

Sitting on the couch watching the tube

The screen is black

But I don’t mind

Cos I’m thinking of you

 

And I want to know how you are

And if you’re missing me

As much as I think that I’m missing you

You see, I’m still not sure if what we had

Is what I want it to be

But I don’t mind

Cos it’s all what it could be

I walk into the kitchen, and poor myself a drink

It’s too strong for my own tastes

But I drink it anyway

Turn the lights down, it’s half past three

I’m not ready for bed

But I don’t mind

Cos I can sleep when I’m dead

My thoughts keep going back to you

That perfect smile that let me know

I had a reason to live

Perfection fades much too fast

No matter how numb I get

But I don’t mind

Cos memories are all I have

 

And I don’t mind

Because my happiest memories are of you

I don’t mind

That I don’t mind
