Don’t Waste Your Time Lyrics

[Intro]
It's over, it's over, it's over

[Verse 1]
It seems you can't hear me
When I open my mouth, you never listen
You say you'll stay, but what does that mean?
Do you think I honestly wanna be reminded, forever?

[Chorus]
Don't waste your time tryin' to fix it
What I want to erase, what I need to forget
Don't waste your time on me, my friend
"Friend," what does that even mean?
I don't want your hand, you'll only pull me down
So save your breath, don't waste your song
On me (On me), on me (On me)

Don't waste your time (It's over, it's over)

[Verse 2]
It's not easy not answering
Every time I wanna talk to you, but I can't
If you only knew the hell I put myself through
Replaying memories in my head of you and I, every night

[Chorus]
Don't waste your time tryin' to fix it
What I want to erase, what I need to forget
Don't waste your time on me, my friend
"Friend," what does that even mean?
I don't want your hand, you'll only pull me down
So save your breath, don't waste your song
On me (On me), on me (On me)
Don't waste your time
[Bridge]
And you're callin', you're talkin', you're tryin'
Tryna get in
But it's over, it's over, it's over
"Friend"

[Chorus]
Don't waste your time tryin' to fix it
So save your breath, don't waste your song
On me (On me), on me (On me)
Don't waste your time

[Outro]
You held me, you felt me
You left me, but it's over, it's over, it's over
You touched me, you had me
But it's over, it's over, it's over
My friend
Don't waste my time

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
