I Don't Mind
$EMMY! Lyrics

Stories on the table
We had high hopes for the future that we shared and the plans that we made together.

I thought they'd be ours too
I believed that our dreams and stories could be a joint venture and that we would achieve them together.

We got something else that's burning
Our current passion and longing for other things have resulted in a conflict of interests, and these feelings have become all-consuming.

It's cutting me loose
These emotions are driving us apart, and I no longer feel held captive by our relationship.

Time it doesn't mean you're wiser
Just because time has passed does not necessarily mean that you have gained more knowledge or become more enlightened.

Don't mean you change
Time does not necessarily equate to transformation or personal growth.

I been thinking lately
I have been contemplating our relationship and where we stand.

We got a lot to say
There are a lot of unresolved issues and concerns that need to be addressed in our relationship.

Ashes falling from our tongues
Our communication has deteriorated to the point where our words are bitter and hurtful and have destroyed any hope of reconciliation.

I don't want it, I don't want it
I am no longer interested in continuing this relationship despite the difficulties we face.

I don't want your love
I no longer desire the romantic attention or affection of my partner.

Hard as diamonds hard and rough
The love that we once shared has become cold, sharp, and unyielding, making it difficult to navigate our relationship.

No it's not enough
The love we share is simply not enough to sustain a healthy and happy relationship.

Hanging in the back
I am avoiding confronting our problems and instead choosing to remain in the background.

And I took the easy road
I chose the path of least resistance and avoided addressing our issues head-on.

You were on a silver platter
You were presented to me as a perfect, ideal partner, but our relationship did not live up to these expectations.

And I had hope
Despite our issues, I believed that we could work through them and make our relationship work again.

You been thinking lately
My partner has also been reflecting on our relationship and the issues that we face.

I'll settle there again
My partner has lowered their expectations for our relationship and is willing to accept the status quo.

But thirty-five has taught me something
As I grow older, I have come to realize that my needs and desires have evolved beyond what our relationship can provide.

And this is it
This realization is my turning point, and I can no longer continue our relationship as it stands.

It's not enough, it's not enough, no
Despite our efforts to keep this relationship going, it is clear that what we have together is not sufficient to sustain a healthy and fulfilling partnership.
