Lyrics

I don't mind
I don't mind if you forget me
Having learned my lesson
I never left an impression on anyone

So now you send me your hardened "regards"
When once you'd send me "love"
Sincerely I must tell you
Your mild "best wishes"
They make me suspicious

I don't mind
I don't mind if you forget me
Having learned my lesson
I never left an impression on anyone

The pressure to change, to move on
Was strange and very strong
So this is why I tell you
I really do understand
BYE BYE

I don't mind if you forget me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

You can only be strong for so long
It may not eat you but it will beat you
So this is why I tell you
I really don't understand, this time
REJECTION IS ONE THING
BUT REJECTION FROM A FOOL IS CRUEL
REJECTION IS ONE THING
BUT REJECTION FROM A FOOL IS CRUEL

And I don't mind if you forget me
I don't mind if your forget me
