I Don't Mind


When you say you’ll be over at 6

And you cancel at 5:59

And I say I don’t mind

I mean it

When you put on a movie

That I’ve seen a thousand times

And I say I don’t mind

I mean it

When you call me in tears

Apologizing for the time

And I say I don’t mind

I mean it

 

When we don’t talk for months

Because you met a boy online

And I say I don’t mind

I mean it

When you say you miss me

And you message me all night

And I say I don’t mind

I mean it

When you tell me every little thing

That’s been playing on your mind

And I say I don’t mind

I mean it

 

When you don’t reply to my messages

Even though you’re online

I guess I don’t mind

When you ask me how I’m doing

I simply say ‘I’m fine'

But I don't mean it

When you finally call me

I’ll say I don’t have the time

And you’ll say you don’t mind

Do you mean it?
