Wasting Time On Her

from All the Words You Shouldn't Speak by The Beggars

	/

lyrics

I didn't have the words to say, I didn't have the words to say
That I love you, I love you, I want you, and so I'm telling you today
You didn't have the will to hear, you didn't have the will to hear
That I love you, I love you, I need you, but you just covered up your ears

I can't believe, you didn't heed my word
It wasn't greed that captured him from her
You know I tried, to see you as you were
So down and blue, but still I'll always try

She wants reprehension of my deepest intentions
And I can't comprehend the way that woman works her mind
She doesn't believe me as I try to tell her softly
Of all the jests I said to her I never meant one line

And I don't wanna die alone, so I'll keep wasting time on her

The past will unveil why I am how I am
New York starts, New York starts to plague my heart
Cut short the curtail; they put me through hell
New York starts, New York starts to plague my heart

I can't believe you're back to your old self
You don't need me; I'll just retract my help
You know I tried to see you as you were
So down and blue, but still I'll always try

We had conversation and now we don't complain about how it all worked out; it hurts me every time
I tried to explain my life to her; she wouldn't listen
Of all the jests I said to her; you know I never meant one line

But I don't wanna die alone, so I'll keep wasting time on her.
