Wasted Lies
Love's Deception: Unveiling the Pain Behind 'Wasted Lies'
Lyrics
You said you didn't want to waste any more time
You expressed a desire not to waste more time.
I said were all those 'I love you's' just wasted lies
I questioned if the declarations of love you made were deceptive.
'Cos I was there for you through all those sleepless nights
I supported you during nights without sleep.
Now all I that I can do for you is cry
Now, all I can do is cry for you.
Now all I that I can do for you is cry
Reiteration: All I can do is cry for you.
Well I won't let it go
I refuse to let go of the situation.
'Cos I want to know
I want to understand why, seeking an explanation.
When I told you I was changin' why'd you stay the same
Questioning why you remained unchanged when I claimed to be changing.
When I wanted to lay down why'd you walk away
When I sought comfort, you chose to leave.
When I thought you were leaving, why'd you tell me that you're mine
Confusion about your commitment when you hinted at leaving but claimed possession.
And when you told me that you loved me, why'd you lie
Doubting the sincerity of your love declaration.
When you said those words 'I' and 'Love' and 'You'
Reflecting on the words 'I,' 'Love,' and 'You.'
Did you know then what you know now 'cos you said them too
Wondering if you truly meant those words at the time.
You picked me up and spun me round, said you wanted more
Recalling a moment of joy when you expressed a desire for more.
Well all I wanted to be to you is yours
Originally desiring to belong to you.
Now all I want to be to you is yours
Revised desire: Now, all I want is to be yours.
You told me you were leavin' with a stick in my back
You conveyed leaving, causing distress.
One after the other I was under attack
Sequential challenges, feeling attacked one after another.
And when I looked into your eyes I fell into a trap
Falling into a trap when looking into your eyes.
And now I want you back
Expressing a desire to reconcile despite past difficulties.
That night you told me that you loved me, I thought we were cool
On a night of love affirmation, feeling secure.
You kissed me in the parking lot of our old school
A nostalgic moment: a kiss in a familiar place.
Lyin' through your teeth, you made me a fool
Discovering deception, feeling foolish for believing lies.
'Cos I loved you
The realization of being in love despite betrayal.
You told me you were leavin' with a stick in my back
Reiteration: You announced leaving, causing pain.
One after the other I was under attack
Continued challenges, feeling under attack repeatedly.
And when I looked into your eyes I fell into a trap
Repeating the trap of emotional entanglement through eye contact.
And now I want you back (I want you back)
Reaffirming the desire to reconcile and bring back the past.
That night you told me that you loved me, I thought we were cool
Revisiting the night of love affirmation, feeling deceived.
You kissed me in the parking lot of our old school
Nostalgia: a kiss in a familiar parking lot.
Lyin' through your teeth, you made me a fool
Facing the truth of lies, feeling foolish for past belief.
'Cos I loved you
Reiteration of the enduring love despite deception.
'Cos I loved you
Concluding: I loved you despite everything.
