wasting my time loving

 

Random things always remind me

I’m wasting my time

Loving you like I do

It could be a whisper from your past

Or when something you’re suppressing 

Rises up into view

I’m never looking for it

I can’t even avoid its truth

That I’ll never be enough

I can’t measure up

To what you’ve had before

Or what you’re craving more of 

Random things always remind me

I’m wasting my time

Loving you like I do

At first when we were shiny brand new 

You could never get enough of

Whatever I could have

But now you’re bored at our best 

I’m left craving what I can’t earn 

So when I see apathy

Staring back at me

Being grand or just there

Of course I’d think “what’s the use”

Random things always remind me

I’m wasting my time

Loving you like I do

Don’t misunderstand me as I know

You love me with all you have to

I just know I can’t know

The intensity for those

That came before oh those old flames

So warm even now Im less

a match in the wind

Trying to breathe and shine 

And not fade into your night 

Random things always remind me

I’m wasting my time

Loving you like I do
