Waste of Time

from Acting The Optimist by Val Emmich

/

lyrics

All the hours I spend
Making invisible friends
Put in my effort at work
Then stuff my face with dessert

I vote for who talks the best
Make sure I’m properly dressed
I spend my money on you and me

I take you out on a walk
I listen up when you talk
I never rush the romance
I do the song and the dance

But still I struggle with doubt
I hope I figure it out
I wish that someone would comfort me

I can’t escape the feeling
This is just a waste of time

I bring my car to a stop
I give donations a lot
I do say thank you and please
I pay my taxes and fees

I wait to watch Game of Thrones
So you don’t have to alone
And in five minutes you’re fast asleep

I got my college degree
It’s something I never need
I spend my life writing words
No one has time to observe

I wonder what’s it all for
These days it feels like a chore
And where’s it get me? This honesty

I can’t escape the feeling
This is just a waste of time

I don’t want to cause a scene
I just move along
I don’t want to make a sound
If the words are wrong

I'm tired of being on guard
I wish this wasn’t so hard
I don't mind trying if it means something

But I can’t escape the feeling
This is just a waste of time

I don’t want to cause a scene
I just move along
I don’t want to make a sound
If the words are wrong
