Yeah yeah...
Oooh... yeah yeh
Ooh... yeah yeh
I don't wanna hear your stories
I don't wanna hear your lies
I don't wanna hear those made up alibis
You told me that you lived for me
You sounded so sincere
But now the picture's suddenly so clear
After all (after all) that's been said and done
I should have been the only one
But every word from you is nothing more
Than wasted breath
Why did you tell me I could put my trust in you
Then turn around and tell me things you know ain't true
Why you trying to play me boy like I'm some fool
That's hard to just forget (that's hard to just forget)
You're too busy trying to run a game on me
That now you can't remember what you said last week
Don't say another word cause baby now I see
It's only wasted breath (only wasted breath)
I'm looking for some good reasons
I'm looking for the truth
But baby that's something I won't get from you
Cause now I see right through you
Your game is oh so weak
And you were better off when you didn't speak
After all that's been said and done (that's been said and done)
I should have been the only one
How could every word be nothing more
Than wasted breath
Why did you tell me I could put my trust in you
Then turn around and tell me things you know ain't true (ooh baby)
Why you trying to play me boy like I'm some fool (why you tryin' to play me)
That's hard to just forget
You're too busy trying to run a game on me (ooh, you're tryin' to run a game)
That now you can't remember what you said last week
Don't say another word cause baby now I see (don't say another word)
It's only wasted breath (only wasted breath)
I'm looking for some good reasons
I'm looking for the truth
But baby the only thing I get from you
Is wasted breath
Wasted time
Wasted tears on my pillow when I cried
Wasted days
Wasted nights
Wasted dreams that will never come to life, oh oh
Why did you tell me I could put my trust in you (oh yeah)
Then turn around and tell me things you know ain't true (tell me things ain't true)
Why you trying to play me boy like I'm some fool (why you tryin' to play me)
That's hard to just forget
You're too busy trying to run a game on me
That now you can't remember what you said last week
Don't say another word cause baby now I see (that it's only)
It's only wasted breath (only wasted breath)
Why did you tell me I could put my trust in you (wasted time)
Then turn around and tell me things you know ain't true (wasted tears)
Why you trying to play me boy like I'm some fool (wasted days and wasted nights)
That's hard to just forget (wasted breath)
You're too busy trying to run a game on me (hey yeah)
That now you can't remember what you said last week
Don't say another word cause baby now I see (don't say another word)
It's only wasted breath (only wasted breath)
