What a waste of love What a waste of time Had I known it pan out that way There'd been no us I'd a drawn the line But you painted such pictures of me and you Had me thinking otherwise You pretended that you were ready to make that sacrifice Me and you But that clearly was a lie Biggest mistake of my life We could've stayed strangers If you wasn't gone be on nothin' We could've stayed strangers If you weren't gone be my man If you weren't gone be my man If you weren't gone be my man We could've stayed strangers If you weren't gone be my man If you weren't gone be my man If you weren't gone be my man We could've stayed strangers What a waste of trust What a waste of life Had I had known you would act this way I would've gave it up I would've passed you by But you painted such pictures of me and you Had me thinking otherwise Had me question if I should do more to reach a compromise Me and you But that clearly was a lie Biggest mistake of my life We could've stayed strangers I could've did without you baby If you ain't have intention for me We could've stayed strangers If you weren't gone be my man If you weren't gone be my man If you weren't gone be my man We could've stayed strangers If you weren't gone be my man If you weren't gone be my man If you weren't gone be my man We could've stayed strangers
