“Wasting Your Time” (R&B Slow Jam) [Verse 1] You gave me all your nights, all your patience Stayed down while I moved reckless Kept saying “baby, I’m changing” But I was only making excuses You were planning futures in your head I was dodging every serious step Had your heart hanging by a thread While I kept leaving you unread [Pre-Chorus] Now I see the tears I caused All the love I let get lost You deserved somebody sure Not somebody immature [Chorus] I was wasting your time Running in circles, feeding you lies Keeping you close when I knew deep inside I couldn’t love you right And I hate that I made you cry Made promises I never tried To keep, while you gave me your whole life Girl, I was wasting your time [Verse 2] You kept holding on to hope While I treated love like it was optional Every time you tried to leave I pulled you back emotionally Now your silence louder than before Your side of the bed cold as the floor And I finally understand What I lost slipping through my hands [Pre-Chorus] You were loyal to the core I kept asking for more Never thinking you would walk away Now I’m drowning in the space [Chorus] I was wasting your time Running in circles, feeding you lies Keeping you close when I knew deep inside I couldn’t love you right And I hate that I made you cry Made promises I never tried To keep, while you gave me your whole life Girl, I was wasting your time [Bridge] If I could take back every lonely night Every moment you questioned your worth I would But healing don’t work like that And I know sorry can’t reverse the hurt [Final Chorus] I was wasting your time Now somebody else gon’ treat you right Give you the love I couldn’t provide While I replay goodbye And it cuts every time I realize You were everything in my life Too late to make it right ‘Cause I was wasting your time...
