Wasted Time

Some people think they know me
Just because they’ve known me for a while
Do you really think that it’s that easy?
Don’t you know that everybody lies?

Some people think they know me
Just because we shared a round or two
Let each other in too soon
Don’t you know that this is just what lonely people do?
I thought you knew

That all of this
Was for nothing
Not to say it was wasted time
I might come to miss this
With rose tinted vision
Not enough to change my mind

Some people think they know me
Just because they knew me for a while
Do you really think that it’s that easy?
I barely knew myself at 25
How could I know

That all of this
Was for nothing
Not to say it was wasted time
I might come to miss this
With rose tinted vision
Not enough to change my mind

I didn’t mean to deceive you
I don’t even know any tricks
I didn’t ask for this feeling
Didn’t know what it meant

I didn’t mean to deceive you
I don’t even know any tricks
I didn’t ask for this feeling
Didn’t know that it meant

That all of this
Was for nothing
Guess you could say it was wasted time
I might come to miss this
With rose tinted vision
Not enough to change my mind
