I misunderstood

Wish I could say the time was wasted
But my heart begs to differ
But to feel like you’ve been nothing
Now that’s not really hard core

Especially when they’ve been your “baby”
Your only thoughts throughout the day
When you’ve made them feel special
Yet they always turn away

Then they make you feel useless
Like your time has been of no need
But one word misunderstood
Gives you back that useless hope

And when realization gets you on your feet
You notice all the things he did
He’s her baby now, doing all the things they do
Don’t waste your time on someone who won’t waste theirs
On you.
