Waste of Time
Love's Illusion: Unraveling the Deceit in 'Waste of Time'
Lyrics
Don't humor me with a conversation
Expressing a desire to avoid insincere conversations.
If real words ain't gonna show up
Expecting genuine words instead of empty or deceptive ones.
No sameness, me and the man you're chasing
Highlighting differences between the speaker and the person being pursued.
Thought I would be enough
Thought the speaker's presence would be sufficient.
I was crazy 'bout you, but you could
Expressing past strong feelings, but the other person failed to notice.
Never see me but for what went wrong
Feeling unrecognized except for mistakes or shortcomings.
I don't know what you expected
Uncertain about the expectations set by the other person.
But I can tell you that I'm gone because
Confirming the speaker's departure due to unmet expectations.
Your love was nothing but a waste of time
Declaring the other person's love as unproductive and a waste of time.
Your tears are useless 'cause they wasted mine
Dismissing the significance of the other person's tears.
Don't act like you carried all the effort
Rejecting the notion that the other person invested more effort.
And the issues fell on me
Attributing issues to both parties, denying sole responsibility.
We're the same two problems, neither better
Stating equality in problems, no one being better or worse.
Only one we could blame is "we"
Blaming both individuals collectively for the relationship's failures.
I don't know what you expected
Reiterating uncertainty about the other person's expectations.
But I can tell you that I'm gone because
Reaffirming the decision to leave due to unmet expectations.
Your love was nothing but a waste of time
Repeating the sentiment that the other person's love was a waste of time.
Your tears are useless 'cause they wasted mine
Reiterating the insignificance of the other person's tears.
Your love was nothing but a waste of time
Emphasizing the idea that the love shared was unproductive.
Your tears are useless 'cause they wasted mine
Repeating the dismissal of the value of the other person's tears.
Your love was nothing but a waste of time
Restating the belief that the love experienced was a waste of time.
Your tears are useless 'cause they wasted mine
Affirming the futility of the other person's tears.
Your love was nothing but a waste of time
Reiterating the judgment that the love shared was unproductive.
Your tears are useless 'cause they wasted mine
Affirming the uselessness of the other person's tears.
