Wasting Paper
I’ve spent days wasting paper
Just trying to write a simple song
Describing the way I feel
Knowing that she’s long gone
I don’t lose my words often
But some say I’m better off
Just take this time to heal
And clear your head
But that is all too simple
Cause you don’t have to sit at home
While staring at the paper and the lead
Outside the sun is shining
Am I doing something wrong
I’ve got my buried emotion
With all that has been going on
I figured this’ll be the day
Where I’ll think of something
Cause the walls are getting taller
And my heart is sinking low
I can’t help but wonder
What did I do that was so wrong
I know I’ve got expectations
Did I set the bar too high
I’m told keep on waiting
And that she’ll come around
But here I am
Still wasting paper
