I Don't Mind
A Story Told Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been on the brink
Somebody please say something honest
I can't remember where I got it yeah
Cause you've been selling to people the shi they never wanted
And I've been running from you
By dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodging yeah
Small talk is a mantra
If you didn't appreciate it then
You know you're never gonna
Spill your heart out on me
Cause baby I don't mind
To get a little hurt sometimes
Are we always gonna fight and break up
I think I'm always gonna be a little messed up
Waiting on your name to come back up
So spill your heart out on me
Haters lining up and arming
But they forgot to play the game
And killed the artist
What was that I beg your pardon
Everybody's like art for the sake of the art
Just cross and dot it
But I'm like what did it mean for the people that get it
And how did it hit the soul yeah
Before you dried it out
That's why I put my own sauce on it
And if you didn't appreciate it then
You know you're never gonna
Spill your heart out on me
Cause baby I don't mind
To get a little hurt sometimes
Are we always gonna fight and break up
I think I'm always gonna be a little messed up
Waiting on your name to come back up
So spill your heart out on me
Just because you love it
Doesn't make it perfect
Just because you love it
Doesn't make it perfect
Just because you love it
Doesn't make it perfect
Just because you love it
Doesn't make it perfect
Spill your heart out on me
Cause baby I don't mind
To get a little hurt sometimes
Are we always gonna fight and break up
I think I'm always gonna be a little messed up
Waiting on your name to come back up
So spill your heart out on me
So spill your heart out on me
So spill your heart out on me
So spill your heart out on me
So spill your heart out on me
The song "I Don't Mind" by A Story Told talks about the complexities of a relationship and the importance of being honest with oneself and one's partner. The lyrics ask the question of whether or not the couple can finish what they started despite being on the brink. The singer is tired of the fake small talk and wants someone to say something honest. The lyrics make reference to the fact that the other person has been selling things people never wanted, and the singer has been running away. The chorus speaks about how the singer doesn't mind getting a little hurt in the relationship if the other person can spill their heart out.
The second verse talks about how haters line up and arm themselves against the artist but forget to play the game and end up killing the artist. The singer wonders what it all meant for the people who got it and how it hit their soul. The artist put their own sauce on it and if people didn't appreciate it, they never would. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing that the singer doesn't mind the pain if the other person can be honest and spill their heart out.
Line by Line Meaning
Can we finish what we started
Can we complete what we began together?
I've been on the brink
I've been close to the edge of something
Somebody please say something honest
Can someone please tell the truth?
I can't remember where I got it yeah
I can't recall where I found it
Cause you've been selling to people the shi they never wanted
Because you've been trying to make people buy things they don't really want
And I've been running from you
And I've been avoiding you
By dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodging yeah
Using various maneuvers to avoid you
Small talk is a mantra
Casual conversation is a daily routine
Let it play and don't restart it
Just let it happen and don't try to change it
If you didn't appreciate it then
You know you're never gonna
If you didn't like it before, you probably never will
Spill your heart out on me
Cause baby I don't mind
To get a little hurt sometimes
Share your feelings with me, even if it hurts me a little
Are we always gonna fight and break up
I think I'm always gonna be a little messed up
Waiting on your name to come back up
Will we keep arguing and breaking up? I think I'll always be a little troubled and waiting for you to resurface
Haters lining up and arming
But they forgot to play the game
And killed the artist
What was that I beg your pardon
Critics are attacking, but they forgot to play the game and ended up ruining the creator. Pardon me, but what happened?
Everybody's like art for the sake of the art
Just cross and dot it
But I'm like what did it mean for the people that get it
And how did it hit the soul yeah
Everyone's talking about art for art's sake, but I'm interested in what it means to people and how it affects them emotionally
Before you dried it out
That's why I put my own sauce on it
And if you didn't appreciate it then
You know you're never gonna
Before you ruined it, I added my own flavor to it. And if you didn't like it before, you never will
Just because you love it
Doesn't make it perfect
Just because you enjoy it, doesn't mean it's flawless
Spill your heart out on me
Open up to me emotionally
So spill your heart out on me
Share your feelings and emotions with me

I really liked this, the elements of sounds like 21 pliots, with a high energy of pop/rock was dope, been digging A Story Told's stuff for years and every song never disappoints
