Verse 1:
Why waste my time when you aren't gonna love me like you said you would?
Why waste my breath if you can't catch it?
You promised me that you could,
You promised me that you could.
Chorus:
So tell me, what's the point of holding on?
When every single word feels so wrong?
You said forever, now it's just a lie,
So why waste my time, why waste my time?
Verse 2:
Late nights talking, dreams shared in the dark,
You were my light, but now you've lost your spark.
You turned away, leaving me in the cold,
I can’t keep chasing something that’s already old.
Chorus:
So tell me, what's the point of holding on?
When every single word feels so wrong?
You said forever, now it's just a lie,
So why waste my time, why waste my time?
Bridge:
I gave you my heart, laid it bare,
But you walked away like you didn’t care.
Your promises haunt me, a ghost in the night,
You shattered my trust, you dimmed the light.
Chorus:
So tell me, what's the point of holding on?
When every single word feels so wrong?
You said forever, now it's just a lie,
So why waste my time, why waste my time?
Outro:
So why waste my time if you can't be true?
You promised me love, but I'm done with you.
Why waste my breath if it’s all in vain?
I’m reclaiming my heart, I’m breaking the chain.
