My Inspiration (Don't Mind the Pain)

Story Behind The Song

I was not in a relation at the time of writing this. In fact, I actually just wrote this song as a poem to a friend at first. obviously the words were somewhat different at the time. A friend I made at American Idol tryouts no less. We hit it off and were from completely different areas so have only actually seen each other a handful of times over the last 8 years or so. But still remain in contact.

Song Description

As a musician and writer, an ordinary life does not bring the needed amount of inspiration to fuel the creative mind. But breakups and makeups do a lot to help new songs come about. Though this song seems mostly to be about the girl leaving, it is more a reflection upon the writers character and letting the girl know that he'll be back, if even for just one night.

Lyrics

I know you've got your things you gotta do,
That tomorrow you're leaving and I'll be missing you,
But I wish you'd know, I don't care if you go to someone new,
Cause if you come round baby to stop in this town,
Maybe then we'll get together for an hour or two,
And we'll begin where we began, and start all over and over again.
And when tomorrow reigns, and I'm felling the pain,
it won't matter to me I'll have your memory.
While I'll be crying loud
I'll open up my mouth,
And let the words flow out like rain.

You know I don't mind the pain it's my inspiration,
I go ahead and fall without regard to all my faults,
When it cuts just like a knife it only helps me to write,
So let me hold you tight if even just for one night,
and fall in love if it's alright
Because I don't mind the pain,
it's my inspiration.

And now that you're gone everything seems wrong,
but the words of my song are sad but true,
And if you hear this playing on the radio
Then baby I want you to know that it's all about you.------
And later on should you find that maybe I'm on your mind,
Don't be timid and shy to just stop in for awhile,
And Baby I wont fight, if I can hold you tonight
and fall in love a while until the morning comes to.

(Chorus X 2)
