I Don't Mind
Embracing Life's Pains: George Eve's 'I Don't Mind' Revels in Acceptance
Lyrics
I don't mind,
Expressing acceptance; the speaker doesn't mind something.
wasting time,
Acknowledging the possibility of wasting time occasionally.
every now and then.
Emphasizing that occasional time-wasting is acceptable.
That's just life,
Commenting on the nature of life, suggesting things come and go.
things go by,
Highlighting the transient nature of experiences.
they come back and then.
Stating that things may leave but have the potential to return.
When i say i miss you,
Expressing a feeling of missing someone.
I see everything as it is,
Claiming to see things objectively and as they truly are.
Cos I can't change what you do,
Acknowledging the inability to change another person's actions.
and the truth is we both know this.
Pointing out a shared understanding of the truth about the situation.
But it hurts, yeah it hurts.
Expressing emotional pain or discomfort.
I don't mind,
Repeating the sentiment of not minding something.
what you like,
Emphasizing a nonchalant attitude towards someone's preferences.
as long as you're OK.
Prioritizing the well-being and happiness of the other person.
Getting by,
Accepting the idea of getting by and managing without major issues.
that's just fine,
Indicating contentment with an average or satisfactory situation.
so go enjoy the day.
Encouraging the other person to enjoy their day without concerns.
When I say i miss you,
Repeating the sentiment of missing someone.
i see everyhting as it is.
Reiterating the claim of seeing things objectively.
'Cos I can't change what you do,
Restating the inability to influence the other person's actions.
And the truth is we both know this.
Affirming the shared awareness of the truth about their relationship.
But it hurts, yeah it hurts.
Reiterating the emotional distress mentioned in line 24 (repeated).
Yeah it hurts, it all hurts.
Reaffirming the overall sense of pain or distress (repeated).
