Do You Mind?
Orla Gartland Lyrics

Come take it all, I wanna know
The singer wants their partner to be completely honest with them and reveal all their thoughts and feelings.

If you're trying to be honest
The singer doubts their partner's honesty and sincerity.

Then why'd you break your promise?
The singer is hurt and confused because their partner didn't keep their promise.

You said you were mine
The artist's partner promised to be committed and loyal to them.

I wanna fall for you again
The artist desires to be in love with their partner again, but they hesitate because they don't trust them.

So much easier the first time
The singer is nostalgic for the early days of their relationship when everything was simpler and not as complicated.

Long before the decline
The singer is reminiscing about the time when their relationship was still good and not troubled by problems and conflicts.

You forgot that you said you were mine
The artist's partner failed to keep their promise of being faithful and dedicated to them.

How are you so mechanical?
The artist questions their partner's emotional detachment and lack of empathy.

I was shouting you just nodded
The artist's partner appeared to be attentive, but in reality, they were not listening or processing what was being said.

Was it everything you wanted
The singer wonders if their partner is happy and content with their current situation.

When you fell into those arms?
The artist implies that their partner cheated on them or left them for someone else.

Do you mind?
The singer asks their partner if it's okay if they don't visit or talk to them anymore.

If I don't stop by
The singer doesn't want to keep seeing their partner because it hurts them.

'Cause when I close my eyes
The singer is haunted by the memory of their partner being intimate with someone else.

I think of you beside her
The artist is tormented by images of their partner being with another woman.

It's a tired reminder
The artist is tired of being reminded of their partner's betrayal and deception.

Of what I didn't wanna know
The singer didn't want to know that their partner cheated on them or left them for someone else.

Now I don't cry
The singer has moved on from their hurt and pain.

Like I used to cry
The artist used to be emotionally affected by their partner's actions, but not anymore.

'Cause the time kept passing
The artist healed and recovered over time, even though it was difficult.

And I just stopped asking how you were
The artist stopped caring about their partner and their well-being.

You took it all
The singer's partner left them with nothing and took everything from them.

And went away
The artist's partner left and abandoned them.

Had me running round in circles
The singer was confused and lost trying to understand their partner's actions.

You told me I should be assertive
The singer's partner gave them advice on how to be more assertive and decisive.

So let's go, you said you were mine
The singer's partner is asking them to be together again, but the singer doesn't trust them.

Can't believe you didn't fight it
The artist is surprised that their partner didn't try to save their relationship or make things right.

You dug a hole and hid inside it
The artist's partner avoided responsibility and accountability for their actions.

Oh, tell me are you proud
The singer asks their partner if they are proud of what they did and how they hurt them.

(Do you? Do you mind that I stopped asking?)
The singer repeats the question, asking their partner if they are okay with not being in contact anymore.

I just stopped asking how you were
The artist repeated their point again and again, emphasizing that they don't care about their partner anymore.
