lyrics

All The Wasted Time
(words and music by Maddy Rodriguez)

Seventeen on May 13th
Another birthday
And he never came
And she hasn’t seen him in forever

She walks around for hours now
Waits by the phone line
‘Cause maybe this time
He might actually remember

And it’s not the fact that he’s gone
That keeps her up at night
That’s not the reason she cries

It’s all the wasted time,
The years gone by
Waiting each day for him to try
But he filled her nights
With broken hopes and
Shattered dreams
And promises he never keeps
All the wasted time,
She spent waiting
To matter in his life

An empty chair with no one there
At graduation,
But she’ll be patient
‘Cause there’s still a chance he’ll come to see her

He doesn’t show in the end at all
She’s not surprised yet,
She’s disappointed
Cause’ she thought he cared about his daughter

Then she realizes she basically
Spent her life tryin’ to do everything right
Thinking maybe he would change his mind

CHORUS

She spent planning that trip,
Breaking down when he cancelled it
Goin’ over all of the reasons
She aint good enough to believe in
‘Cause he’d say I love you
But it didn’t seem to be true
Nothing made a difference at all
He’ll never wanna make the phone call

All the wasted time,
The years gone by
And every day, telling herself lies
Trying to justify
The broken hopes and
Shattered dreams
The promises he never keeps
All the wasted time,
And every single year gone by
She spent waiting for the Dad
She never had

Baby don’t cry anymore, anymore
Baby don’t waste your time anymore, anymore X2
(I know it hurts, but you’re not alone
You just call on me now)
