Wasted Energy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't want your love
Don't worry who I'm seeing tonight
It's none of your business
Too bad I weren't enough
'Cause ready or not, I'm better on my own
Too many times, you turned a blind eye to the way I feel
Oh, you're the reason why I'm numb
And when I try to give you my time, it's never, ever ideal
Had to learn it the hard way, oh yeah
Wasted energy, yeah
Wasted energy
Wasted energy, yeah
Why did you, why did you fuck up the chemistry?
Broken promises along the way
Lost count of how many you made
My love, my love, my love
Tied up in your plans, still on center stage, no great escape
Wouldn't keep you, my line up, line up, line up, oh
Too many times, you turned a blind eye to the way I feel
Oh, you're the reason why I'm numb
And when I try to give you my time, it's never, ever ideal
Had to learn it the hard way, oh yeah
Wasted energy, yeah
Wasted energy
Wasted energy
Why did you, why did you fuck up the chemistry?
Kwa nini penzi umelikata miguu
Unalibidua mara chini mara juu?
Why?
Why?
Moyo unaumia, Moyo unaumia
Moyo unaumia kwa nini unaugeuza nguo karaha?
Eti karaha, oh-oh
