lyrics

I don’t mind that I’m always alone
But my heart’s not made of stone
I’ll never make it on my own
I just know that someday
I’ll meet the girl of my dreams

I don’t mind that it’s cold in my bed
Because I keep my hope well fed
I see it clearly in my head
I just know that love’s not
As far off as it seems

I don’t blame the government
Or the climate scientists
I don’t blame your daughter
That we never get through this

We made our choices, don’t feel bad
It was nice that we had what we had
Don’t let the memories drive you mad
You’re your purest when you’re sad

I don’t mind that you weren’t the one
But our adventure still was fun
Now that it’s all over and done
I get a new chance
To dream it up again

Don’t you mind, and don’t question
If we still share some passion
That’s the dead weight of old burdens
And I’d rather daydream
Than remember when

It’s not your fault you need to stay
With the slob with the cushy job
That pays the bills for the pills
That replace your pain with a nodding haze

You're right maybe we should’ve let it die
And not let our love ossify
We’d be free of hope, free of denial
That there could ever be a you and I
