we're not living in a perfect world

we play these games then sell our souls

time is of the essence my friend

was hoping that you come my way

gotta take charge and make your play

when will you get into the groove

don't know if it will happen

just thought we'd give it one more try

why let it pass us by

you said that it's all over

not gonna make you change your mind

it's just a waste of time

a waste of time

couldn't find the right words to say

i close the door and walked away

no more of this crying the blues

just knowing now you never see

the little part of life to be

all good things must come to an end

don't know if it will happen

just thought we'd give it one more try

why let it pass us by

you said that it's all over

not gonna make you change your mind

it's just a waste of time

a waste of time

i could think that i would ever feel

the dream was there it seemed so real

i waited so long

don't know if it will happen

just thought we give it one more try

why let it pass us by

you said that it's all over

not gonna make you change your mind

it's just a waste of time

yeah

it's just a waste of time

it's just a waste of time

a waste of time

you gonna make me cry

don't say goodbye

i waited so long

i've been waiting so long

waiting so long

it just a waste of time

just a waste of time
