Don't Waste My Time
Nyasia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I should have known that you'd be this way
You give me love then you take it away
You just don't know how you're making me feel
Please understand what I'm feeling is real

I gave my love to you
I thought your heart was true
But now what can I do

You said you'd never leave me
That you would always need me
And I believed in you

Don't waste my time
Tell me what's on your mind
Is this a game are you playing hard to get

Don't waste my time
I won't be here forever
I've got to know if you're for real or just wasting my time
Just wasting my time

You run around, you're just playing a game
Just let me know if you don't feel the same
It's plain to see what you're doing to me
Please understand that I need to be free

You gave your heart to me
But I was blind to see
That love can be so cruel

You said you'd never leave me
But baby please believe me
I will not be your fool

Don't waste my time
Tell me what's on your mind
Is this a game are you playing hard to get

Don't waste my time
I won't be here forever
I've got to know if you're for real or just wasting my time

Don't waste my time
Tell me what's on your mind
Is this a game are you playing hard to get

Don't waste my time
I won't be here forever
I've got to know if you're for real or just wasting my time

Don't waste my time
Don't waste my time
I won't be here forever
I've got to know if you're for real
Just wasting my time

Don't waste my time
Tell me what's on your mind
Is this a game are you playing hard to get

Don't waste my time
I won't be here forever
I've got to know if you're for real or just wasting my time

Don't waste my time
Tell me what's on your mind
Is this a game are you playing hard to get

Don't waste my time
I won't be here forever




I've got to know if you're for real or just wasting my time
Just wasting my time
