Waste
Paisley Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why don't you get married at twenty-two girl?
When I'm worrying what happened to you
Waste your time, don't waste mine
And when you leave I swear
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you

Why don't you get lost girl?

You never said you loved me anyway
What don't you fuck off girl?
You never said you loved me anyway
Waste your own life, don't waste mine
When you leave I swear
I'll never forgive you
I'll never forgive you

Why don't you get lost girl?
I never said I loved you anyway
Why don't you fuck off girl?
I never said I loved you anyway
Waste your life, don't waste mine
When you leave I swear
I'll never forgive you
I'll never forgive you
I'll never forgive you

I'll never forgive you
I'll never forgive you

Overall Meaning

In "Waste," Brad Paisley expresses frustration towards a woman who he feels is wasting his time and not showing him love or commitment. He starts off by suggesting that she should get married at twenty-two, which seems to be a way for him to push her away and not deal with her anymore. He believes that she is wasting his time and not making any effort towards the relationship. He then proceeds to tell her to waste her own life and not waste his, showing that he is fed up with her behavior.

The lyrics "Waste your time, don't waste mine" and "Waste your own life, don't waste mine" emphasize that the woman is not contributing to the relationship and is only taking away from it. Brad Paisley even goes as far as to say that he will never forgive her for how she has treated him. It's clear that he has reached the end of his patience with her and is ready to move on from the relationship entirely.

Overall, "Waste" is a poignant representation of the frustration and bitterness that can come from relationships that lack love, commitment, and effort. It's a reminder that relationships are a two-way street, and both parties need to put in effort to make them work.
