Only seem to waste time, waste time
Only seem to waste time, waste time
Just the others' fall guy
If I had a penny for every time
I saw an opportunity but couldn't try
If I gave a penny up every time
Someone around me had their time to shine
There's an emptiness inside me that is growing
With the days that turn into years
I can only hope that none of it is showing
Cause I'm running out of ideas
And the pace of my conviction is slowing
As I just can't face my fears
My stagnant motivation's controlling me
Only seem to waste time, waste time
Only seem to waste time, waste time
Just the others' fall guy
If I got a way that I could change myself
I don't think I'd dare to rearrange myself
If I got a way that I could change myself
I think at this point I'd have to take the plunge
Maybe I've been given a chance here
Maybe this is my way to escape
Maybe I can pull myself together
And prevent myself from going up in flames
Maybe I am just too inconsistent
To let myself be carried by hope
Only time can tell if I can be persistent
Or if my dream will go up in smoke
Only seem to waste time, waste time
Only seem to waste time, waste time
Just the others' fall guy
Looking back it all seems so petty
Discrepancies among the busy life
Don't want to put the blame on those around me
Cause it feels like needless strife
Our time on this earth is way too finite
And what we do doesn't matter at all
So let's make the best of what we can I guess
Only seem to waste time, waste time
Only seem to waste time, waste time
Just the others' fall guy
