Wasting My Life Lyrics

Something in the way she never looks my way, I'm in love
I'm in love
Something in the way she doesn't hear a word I say, I'm in love
I'm in love

(Chorus)
But people say we're not the same
She's out of my league, I'm insane
Am I wasting my life waiting for you
Wasting my life waiting for you
Wasting my life waiting for you
Is it true
Am I wasting my life on you?
So tell me it's not true

Something in the way she looked at me today, I'm in love
I'm in love
Something in the way she says for me to get away, I'm in love
I'm in love

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.
