I Don't Mind


Set the stage

I will play

As long as I can

You break me

Harder every time

And you think

Super glue

Will hold me together

Will save me from you

And the damage

Only you can put me through

Whatever you didn't say

But was on  your tongue

The truths

You twist

Turn sour

And rotten

In my belly

 

You pressed too hard

And you knew better

But you held tighter

Like a snake

You broke me down

Robbed me

Clean and spotless

Is my insides

You had no idea

No clue

What kind of scar

You would leave behind

How much time

You would waste

 

So walk

Walk on that tight rope

No one has to know

What we both know

How cold

It is living this way

In shadows

In lies

You can only walk

On broken glass

Before it cuts you up

So keep pretending

And hiding

I don't mind

Wasting more time

More of my life

Because if you don't mind

I guess

I don't mind
