DON'T WASTE MY TIME

You can hurt my feelings
You can damage my pride
You can take all my Earth things
Yeah, and I wouldn't mind
You can steal all my money
Leave me deaf, dumb and blind
But would you be so kind
As to not waste my time?

With every second that you spent
Simply remembering the stupid things you said
You coulda built a rocket ship
I know you're riddled with bitterness
And your pain is legitimate
Doesn't change that it's ignorant
To be chained and imprisoned

You say it's just one minute here, a millisecond there
Fast-forward five years, it's all who knows where
Spent on who knows what, for who knows why
You gave your time to someone who's not there

You can hurt my feelings
You can damage my pride
You can take all my Earth things
Yeah, and I wouldn't mind
You can steal all my money
Leave me deaf, dumb and blind
But would you be so kind
As to not waste my time?

Feel a bit mischievous
You could take it all away
Although that's devious
Go ahead and make my day
It's not the easiest
To live my life this way
There ain't an ounce of trust
All the games we play

Another day, another plan, another text
Another half-baked excuse to push this weekend to the next
She left me hanging so long, I still have sores on my neck
Next to her, a gallow's looking like a pretty safe bet

So like our plans, I plan on slipping through the cracks
I won't be telling her why, no
I won't be messaging back, no
Because an explanation shows an ounce of dedication
No communication, yeah
It's hypocritical she hates this, ain't it?

But if I choose to throw a fit, then I'm no better
'Cause getting angry wastes even more of my time and effort
Tossed my weekends in the gutter, yeah, that's on her
But whether or not I choose to be free's on me

And she could choose to apologize
If she doesn't then she's just another waste of time
I want to believe that her heart was kind
But you'll never catch me harbouring a parasite

You can hurt my feelings
You can damage my pride
You can take all my Earth things
Yeah, and I wouldn't mind
You can steal all my money
Leave me deaf, dumb and blind
But would you be so kind
As to not waste my time?

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Seconds, minutes, hours, they never stop
And as the clock ticks by, you wonder why
Your life drip-drips down the drain like a drop

Seconds, minutes, hours, they never stop

Your life drip-drips down the drain like a drop
