Not Gonna Waste My Time

written 4-10-12

V1:
I wished you'd just believe
That I didn't say anything mean
That I wouldn't do such a thing
I hate it when people make me look like the bad guy
Those nights, I had it and all I did was cry
Why do people have to always get involved?
Why can't these problems be easily solved?

Chorus:
You left everything out in the open
You had your fun and I didn't know it
Why do these things in life change so quickly?
For two weeks it was us I was missing
And for one week I held myself back from talking to you at all,
Built myself an unbreakable wall
I'll admit, I had the time of my life with you
And sparks grew
But they left and so did you
So, goodbye
I'm not gonna waste my time
It's always been the other guy
It'll always be him in the back of my mind
And I'm not gonna waste my time
Believe me, I am chill and laid-back
But I won't stand to be called qualities that I don't lack
All I wanted was something unofficial,
Something we had fun with 'til you left for college
But you were too scared to take things too fast
Because of your past
And I'm not gonna waste my time
With you

V2:
Honey, you're too smart for me
Very soon, you'll be turning eighteen
An adult with emotions mixing
Being rude to me again on the phone
Your words are hurtful, so is your tone
I won't apologize cause I did nothing wrong
But an apology is what I've been waiting for all along
And I just wanna be done

-Chorus-

Bridge:
Told me I should've called
But I told you you shouldn't have waited so long
I'm over you, he's the one I want
And that's why his words haunt
I just wanted you to change things up, make new trends
I still really want to be your friend
But the boy from my mother's hometown state
Is the one for me...
And it'll never be too late

-Chorus-
