Wasting Time
Lauren Cimorelli Lyrics

I think about all the things I never should′ve said
Reflecting on past mistakes and regretting things that were said, but can no longer be taken back.

All the things I do over again
Wishing for a second chance to change things and do them differently.

All those nights and all the time spent
Thinking about the time invested in something or someone, and questioning whether it was worth it or not.

I'm creating fixes for broken promises
Trying to make things right after breaking a promise or not fulfilling a commitment.

Trying to be productive
Making an effort to be productive and get things done.

But I end up doing nothing
Despite the effort to be productive, ending up being unproductive and not getting anything done.

′Cause I'm always running from something
Feeling like there's always something chasing or haunting, and trying to escape it.

Can't keep my focus, so I say I′m living in the moment
Having trouble concentrating, so choosing to focus on the present and enjoy the moment instead.

I never try too hard ′cause I'm always joking
Not taking things seriously and often making light of serious situations to cope or avoid dealing with them.

And I′ve been waiting too long for the weekend
Looking forward to the weekend and wanting to escape the daily routine.

I've been staying up late but I can′t sleep in
Having trouble sleeping and waking up early despite going to bed late.

Seems like nobody cares what I think
Feeling insignificant and unimportant to others, and that their opinions or thoughts don't matter.

And I've been tryna get myself to smile
Trying to put on a happy face and force oneself to be happy.

But now it′s six in the morning
Realizing how much time has passed and how little has been accomplished or achieved.

I'm wasting all my time
Feeling like time is being wasted and not being used effectively or efficiently.

Think about all the things I probably should′ve tried
Thinking about missed opportunities and things that should have been attempted or pursued.

Wondering what my life would be like
Contemplating how different life may be if certain decisions were made or different paths were taken.

And all the things I did, to ruin my relationships
Recognizing actions or behaviors that may have negatively impacted or damaged relationships.

It′s not right
Feeling remorseful and acknowledging that certain actions or situations are not ideal or preferred.

Feeling like I'm crazy
Experiencing feelings of confusion, frustration or anxiety that may seem overwhelming or irrational.

Can somebody save me?
Asking for help and support from others when feeling overwhelmed or unable to handle something alone.

′Cause I don't know what I′ve been doing lately
Feeling lost and unsure of one's direction in life or what actions to take.
