Waste
GELM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

Thought you were the one
I believed that you were the perfect person for me
But you proved me wrong
You showed me that my belief was incorrect
If you did me right you won't be confused
If you treated me well, you wouldn't be uncertain
If this is real then why don't I have you?
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"
"Wait, I apologize for my behavior, I love you, please don't abandon me or bid farewell"
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
