And I'm just a waste of her energy
And she's just wasting my time
Mmmm
So why don't we get together
And we could waste everything tonight
And we could waste and we could waste it all tonight
Yea
And I don't pretend to know what you know
No no
Now please don't pretend to know what's on my mind
If we already knew everything that everybody knows
We would have nothing to learn tonight
And we would have nothing to show tonight
Oh but everybody thinks
That everybody knows
About everybody else
Nobody knows
Anything about themselves
'Cause their all worried about everybody else
Yeah
Oh
Love's just a waste of our energy yeah
And this life's just a waste of our time
So why don't we get together
We could waste everything tonight
And we could waste and we could waste it all yeah
But everybody thinks
That everybody knows
About everybody else
Now now now nobody knows
Anything about themselves
'Cause their all worried about everybody else yeah
Oh
And we could waste

And I'm just a waste of her energy
I'm not good enough for her and am causing her more harm than good
And she's just wasting my time
She doesn't really care about me and is just using me to pass the time
So why don't we get together
Let's come together, even though we know it's pointless
And we could waste everything tonight
Let's just forget our troubles and indulge in meaningless things
And we could waste and we could waste it all tonight
We have nothing better to do, so let's waste away the night
And I don't pretend to know what you know
I'm not pretending to understand you or your thoughts
Now please don't pretend to know what's on my mind
Don't assume you know what I'm thinking or feeling
If we already knew everything that everybody knows
If we knew everything that's common knowledge, we wouldn't have anything to learn
We would have nothing to learn tonight
We are not seeking to learn anything tonight
And we would have nothing to show tonight
We have nothing to prove or demonstrate tonight
Oh but everybody thinks
Everyone assumes
That everybody knows
That everyone is aware of everything
About everybody else
About the lives and situations of others
Nobody knows
But no one really has the full picture
Anything about themselves
And nobody really understands themselves fully
'Cause their all worried about everybody else
Because they are too preoccupied with others rather than themselves
Love's just a waste of our energy yeah
Love is a futile effort and is not worth the effort
And this life's just a waste of our time
We feel that our lives are unproductive and a waste of time
We could waste everything tonight
Let's just enjoy ourselves with no concern for consequences
And we could waste and we could waste it all yeah
We are not worried about anything and are just looking to indulge in the moment
Now now now nobody knows
No one truly knows everything
Cause their all worried about everybody else yeah
Because everyone is too concerned with other people instead of themselves

Jesus is the way to Heaven , there is no other way. We have to do what God demands of us. So if you believe in God , but don't pray. Don't know the Bible. You can start today , theres no use in just treating God like he's an after thought. That is if you truly love him and wish to go to Heaven. If it takes humbling yourself will you do it ? If it takes studying the word and praying, if you love God you will do these things.
Jesus is the way , love to all here.
Take thought of what I said. Also Imagine we believe God but we say what is right for us to do as if we are God himself. We make our own rules for our life and claim to love God, we claim we are going to Heaven by default. But the way we think and what we do has been effected by the environment around us and the nature we are faced with being humans that are sinners. We go against God, everyone has.
So it is no surprise that we humans can claim things and be wrong. We cannot make the rules that we want , we are below God. We're all guilty , we have to do What God says is right to love God. We have to love his rules and what he says. We can't play by our own rules and win in the end if those rules don't apply to the game. Just because we say we will go to Heaven does that make it true just because we said it. We need to check with God and his word.
So do some thinking and think about it. Have you truly seeked God ?
Are you completely transparent with your own faults and shortcomings?
Do you suffer with pride , talking about others , not forgiving people, anger. Sadness. Im sure many relate to me and how I've acted then. And the things I've felt.
I'm just like everyone else , a sinner in need of Jesus. I made mistakes I still struggle sometimes. *I'm not defending anything I've done wrong I'm only being honest.
Honesty is key , your real thoughts and feelings. What you go through and are dealing with.
Get to know Jesus, you don't have to. But if you love God and Heaven is something important to you then there's no better thing to do. Literally
I have to say this , Hell is real and people do go there. Till this day and until the end of revelation takes place.
I have to be honest because I don't want anyone to Be tricked into going there. See , satan has to trick us to go to Hell. It's when we believe him and his lies *like Adam and eve
we get pulled away from God and in the end humans go to Hell if they don't listen to Gods Warnings and accept his mercy and grace.
This is a warning and a reminder out of love. Because God cares where we end up.

Girl, you want it, I see you (Oh)
And I am who I am (Oh)
And I be where I be (Where I be)
If you ever hit me on the late night (Yeah)
I'll give you a clear mind
Might give you some insight
[Pre-Chorus: Brent Faiyaz]
I'll share my world with you

All them drinkin' the champagne
Oh, you wanted the same thing
[Verse 4: Drake]
Yeah
The Ten Thousand Building, get your ass an apartment
Put you inside a G-Class, that's just a starter kit
Plenty things count in life, but none of them is a thought of it
New piece around my neck, it's chest games
'Cause shorty stay with calculatin' moves, like Beth Harmon
Swear I'm more "Purple Rain" Prince than Prince Charmin'
Disappointment, I stay expectin' it, the pessimist gold medalist
Flushed the Magnums just so they not collectin' my specimens, damn (Damn)
The way she with papi, man, you would think she's a veteran on remembrance
Cleanin' lady sweep the room daily for all the evidence
Of everything I ever did (I ever did)
Do they have a pool there? Do they have a gym there?
You used to do skincare, but now you do swimwear
Your ex-roommate got a condo that's downtown
But she got no furniture in the crib, I've been there (Been there)
Checkmate, even though you hate that I even check her
I'll still get an E for effort
Only time I play the back and forth is Aaliyah record
If I let you talk first, then nobody is speakin' second
Fluent in passive aggression, that's why you actin' dismissive
Hearin' me out for once would require you actually listen, damn (Damn)
The boy is back, I never turned my back
I just lapped 'em, so now all that they see is my back
Say that then, Maybach Benz with me in the back
When I was in Acura, still couldn't clean up my act
Whenever I tell the truth, you feel like you bein' attacked
But that come with bein' attached, so how 'bout we leave it at that? (Leave it at that)
[Chorus: Brent Faiyaz]
If you're gonna waste your time
Then waste your time with me
You can have all the space
More than you need
It's no pressure, girl
If you got time to waste (Waste)
Waste it with me
