Wastes of Time
Elvis Depressedly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heartbreak can't change me
I am crazy for you
It's a sad world we were raised in
Let it fade into something new

If you try I will try
If we fuck up it's alright
There is so much more to life
Than all these wastes of time

Heartbreak can't phase me
I am crazy but I'm true
It's a sad world we were raised in
You could hate it but what's the use?

If you try I will try
When we fuck up it's alright




There is always more to life
Than all these wastes of time
