I'm Wasting Good Paper Lyrics

I know I shouldn't do this but I will anyway
I'll write you this letter and I'll mail it today
I've told me you won't read it but I can't tell my mind
That I'm wasting good paper, a stamp and my time.
You make take what I'm writing as some sort of joke
For I said all this before in the last one I wrote
I know it won't be opened for you won't read one line
I'm just wasting good paper, a stamp and my time.
I sent you so many I can't count them all
And just like the others in the trash it will fall
I know you won't be wearing this name I now sign
I'm just wasting good paper, a stamp and my time.
(I sent you so many I can't count them all)
(And just like the others in the trash it will fall)
I know you won't be wearing this name I now sign
I'm just wasting good paper, a stamp and my time...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
