Story Behind The Song

Positive song about life after the breakup. There's still feelings there from both sides, but it's time to move on. He has unpredictable moments of "breaking down", but resolves to get on with life, instead of clinging to false hopes she dangles in front of him.

Song Description

Acoustic Guitar-driven song, strong sparse trap drums, Rhodes, and steel guitar. Slowly builds from just acoustic and lead vocals to full arrangement. Nice reggae feel on the bridge.

Lyrics

Waste My Time
c. copyright Andrew Saxby 2003

Chorus
Well I ain't gonna waste my time
thru with thinking about you all the time
I'm in the middle of something
when I start to cry,
I'm gonna be just fine somehow some way

Verse
I was just contemplating starting my day
with a cold cup of coffee and yesterdays front page
thats when it hits me these visions of you
thoughts and emotions I am consumed
I just wanna be your friend thats what you say
You just wanna lend a hand, but I'm doing fine

Chorus
Well I ain't gonna waste my time
thru with thinking about you all the time
I'm in the middle of something
when I start to cry, people are staring
I'm gonna be just fine somehow some way

Verse
I always seem to break down in the weirdest places
while I'm doing my laundry cruising for a parking space
but it's time to stop mourning
stop wearing black i've got to get my life back
I've got to get it back
and I don't wanna be just friends
I don't need I don't need your helping hand cuse I'm doing fine.

Chorus

Bridge
and when the tears come I want to run and hide
but these tears come they come from foolish pride
though my wounds are deep there deep inside
this game is over your out of time
I don't wanna be just friends
I don't need I don't need your helping hand cuse I'm doing fine.

Chorus
