Lyrics

I won't waste your time, I will put all of your secret hopes with mine,
I will stand up strong in the fierce firing line,
I won't flinch or fail or die
No, I won't waste your time.
I won't dodge your eye when you stare right through me,
My heart doesn't lie, sometimes in that it fails me
I won't let myself cry or hurt or give up trying,
No, I won't waste your time.
I won't be the guy who steals your gut reaction
My efforts won't decline to bring you satisfaction,
Your doormat for all time or until of me you tire
No, I won't waste your time.

Please be kind, I'm kind of weak
Sometimes so that I can't speak
So you'll have to listen to my song
Otherwise the words just come out wrong.

I won't waste your time,
Not least of all because I can't stand wasting mine,
It's always shorter in supply,
One day my whole life will be swept far out of sight
And nothing that I write can ever change that ending
Every day and night has been wasted spending it all on this fight
So please just say it's alright, you won't waste my time.
