Waste
GELM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought you were the one
But you proved me wrong
If you did me right you won't be confused
If this is real then why don't I have you?

Hold me, baby, I wonder if it's time
Tell me, you love me, but obviously that's a lie
Play these games, you didn't even want to try
"Hold up i'm sorry I love you don't leave me don't say goodbye"

Cause if it was true
Then i'd be with you
But we're not together
I never got to have you

We did each other wrong
With you i'm always torn
But now we reached the end
And I realized you

Wasted my time
Why'd I even try?
You said all these lies
Done with your type

You wasted my time
Now i'll wait for the time
For me to be fine
And be better without you

Fuck communication
If you don't understand
Might as well just let this all go
I learned my lesson now too don't get me wrong

Hold me, baby, I wonder if it's time
Tell me, you love me, but obviously that's a lie
Play these games, you didn't even want to try
"Hold up i'm sorry I love you don't leave me don't say goodbye"

Cause if it was true
Then i'd be with you
But we're not together
I never got to have you

We let each other go
Guess that's for the better
Now that we're apart
I just realized you

Wasted my time

Hard to give my all
To someone who's partly mine
Lost most of myself
Just to make you smile
But it's finally over
My friends be like "girl I told ya"
Now I know
Finally I realized you

Wasted my time




Wasted my time
Wasted my time

But you proved me wrong
You showed me that my belief was incorrect

If you treated me well, you wouldn't be uncertain

If our connection is genuine, why aren't we together?


Hold me, baby, I wonder if it's time
I desire your embrace, questioning if the right moment has arrived


Tell me, you love me, but obviously that's a lie
You claim to love me, but it's clearly not true


Play these games, you didn't even want to try
You engage in these manipulative actions, showing no effort or willingness


"Hold up i'm sorry I love you don't leave me don't say goodbye"

Cause if it was true
Because if our love was genuine


Then i'd be with you
I would be in a relationship with you


But we're not together
However, we are not in a romantic partnership


I never got to have you
I never had the opportunity to be with you


We did each other wrong
We both harmed one another


With you i'm always torn
Being with you always leaves me conflicted


But now we reached the end
But now we have come to the conclusion


And I realized you
And I finally understand who you truly are


Wasted my time
You squandered my precious moments


Why'd I even try?
Why did I even put in the effort?


You said all these lies
You uttered numerous falsehoods


Done with your type
I am finished dealing with someone like you


Now i'll wait for the time
Now I will patiently wait for the right moment


For me to be fine
For me to feel content and at peace


And be better without you
And to improve myself without your presence


Fuck communication
To hell with trying to communicate


If you don't understand
If you fail to comprehend


Might as well just let this all go
It might be best to release it all and move on


I learned my lesson now too don't get me wrong
I have also learned my own lesson, don't misunderstand


We let each other go
We allowed each other to depart from our lives


Guess that's for the better
Perhaps that is a positive outcome


Now that we're apart
Now that we have separated


I just realized you
I just truly comprehend who you are


Hard to give my all
Difficult to give my complete effort


To someone who's partly mine
To someone who only partially belongs to me


Lost most of myself
I sacrificed a significant part of my own identity


Just to make you smile
Simply to bring a smile to your face


But it's finally over
But it has finally come to an end


My friends be like "girl I told ya"
My friends would say 'I warned you, girl'


Now I know
Now I am aware


Wasted my time
You wasted my precious time


Wasted my time
You squandered my valuable time


Wasted my time
You used up my time without making it worthwhile
