I Don’t Mind
There's a lonely feeling I carry
That will follow me all my days
I walked out on a heart you were nursing
And turned my back on a love you saved
Just when the clouds were drifting
My plan got rearranged
But, there ain't no gong back now
And ain't no way I can change
I believe that I found God
About the same time I found you
All that stuff about Heaven & Angels
I know now that it's all true
And you drift in and out of my dreams now
Like a ship out at sea in a storm
And when I wake up every morning
I roll over to find you still gone, oh
(Chorus)
I'm alone in a way that I've never been
Since you left me behind
If you think you can ever love me again
Please go ahead, I don't mind
It feels like you're so far away now
And I'm stuck out here all by myself
All the things that I wish I had told you
Still inside my mind bottled and shelved
And in my dreams although I can hear you
There's a darkness that hides you from sight
So I search all around trying to feel you
All I find is a world without light
There's a world I want to leave
And a world where I want to stay
There's a dream that I believe
But when I wake up it goes away, goes away
(Chorus)
Oh, I'm alone in a way that I've never been
Since you left me behind
If you think you can ever love me again
Please go ahead, I don't mind. I don't mind. I don't mind
I'm alone in a way that I've never been (x5)
