Please Don't Waste His Time
Unveiling Heartache: Thom Benjamin's Plea in 'Please Don't Waste His Time'
Lyrics
And then he said
Expressing a direct quote from someone, setting the context.
I'm still in love with her I thought you should know
Informing about someone's lingering feelings for another person.
All I ever hear him say is your name
Highlighting the constant mention of the listener's name by the person.
He's unaware
Describing the person's lack of awareness of the situation.
Looking for answers, afraid for the truth
Describing the person's search for answers while fearing the truth.
What's the use of open eyes when they're blinded
Raising a rhetorical question about the value of open eyes when blinded, questioning the perception of reality.
He has such a heavy heart to hold
Characterizing the person as having a burdensome heart.
But if you're strong enough to carry all the weight
Suggesting that if the listener is strong enough, they should support the person and share the emotional burden.
You should be with him tonight, and all the nights it's gonna take
Encouraging the listener to be with the person consistently during challenging times.
It's okay if you won't stay, I'm sure he'll understand
Expressing understanding if the listener can't stay, emphasizing the importance of not wasting the person's time.
But please don't waste his time
An explicit plea not to waste the person's time.
Have you moved on
Asking if the listener has moved on from the past relationship.
Or does he still move you as he did in the past
Inquiring if the person still has a significant impact on the listener.
Do you still blame him for his honest mistakes
Questioning whether the listener still holds resentment for the person's past mistakes.
Or are you scared?
Asking if the listener is hesitant or fearful.
Still thinking of him when the morning awakes
Suggesting the listener's continued contemplation of the person in the morning.
Afraid to ask him if it's already too late
Expressing fear of asking if it's too late to reconcile with the person.
He has such a heavy heart to hold
Reiterating the person's heavy emotional burden.
But if you're strong enough to carry all the weight
Encouraging the listener to be with the person and share the weight.
You should be with him tonight, and all the nights it's gonna take
Repeating the call for the listener to be there for the person during difficult nights.
It's okay if you won't stay, I'm sure he'll understand
Expressing understanding if the listener cannot stay, but reiterating the plea not to waste the person's time.
But please don't waste his time
A final plea not to waste the person's time.
