Wasted Time
Time's Echo: A Tale of Choices and Regrets
Lyrics
Maybe it would be better if we never said goodbye
Reflecting on the possibility that parting ways without saying goodbye might have been better.
Maybe I'd grow much older with you in my life
Contemplating the idea that life could have been more fulfilling with the person throughout the years.
Maybe we'd come out winners putting the world to right
Imagining a scenario where both individuals succeed in making positive changes in the world.
Maybe I should be sorry for wasting your time
Expressing regret and considering apologizing for potentially wasting the other person's time.
So who's right will take my side
Pondering who is justified and will support the speaker's perspective.
And call it spite or call it pride
Discussing the potential motives behind actions, such as spite, or pride, or even enduring love.
Call it love that never died
Exploring the idea of enduring love that has not faded away.
Call it anything but wasted time?
Questioning whether the past should be labeled as wasted time or if there is value in it.
After the party's over, after the dream has died
Reflecting on the aftermath of events, particularly after dreams or plans have not come to fruition.
Some people keep returning to the scene of the crime
Noting that some individuals revisit past mistakes or situations, attempting to find resolution or closure.
Try to rewrite the story, tell you you never tried
Suggesting that people may try to rewrite history and deny any effort on the speaker's part.
Tell you you should be sorry for wasting their time
Turning the tables and indicating that the other person should apologize for wasting time.
So who's right will take my side
Reiterating the question of who is justified and will support the speaker's viewpoint.
And call it spite or call it pride
Emphasizing the various ways the past can be labeled, including spite, pride, or enduring love.
Call it love that never died
Revisiting the idea of love that has persisted despite challenges.
Call it anything but wasted time?
Repeating the question of whether the past should be considered wasted time.
Maybe we could've done better, maybe, maybe not
Considering the possibility of better outcomes and choices that could have been made in the past.
Maybe we could've made better use of time
Reflecting on the potential for better use of time in the past.
Maybe if anyone knew better how much time we've got
Hypothetically wondering if a better understanding of the limited time available could have influenced decisions.
They/It wouldn't be so hard to make the words up right
Suggesting that expressing oneself accurately may not be easy due to the passage of time.
So who's right will take my side
Posing the question again about who supports the speaker's perspective.
And call it spite or call it pride
Reiterating the potential motivations behind actions, such as spite, pride, or enduring love.
Call it love that never died
Revisiting the theme of enduring love that has not diminished over time.
Call it anything but wasted time?
Repeating the question of whether the past should be considered wasted time.
