“Waste My Time”
Music/Lyrics by JK Wilson/BR Tant

Verse
I guess you led me on, maybe a bit too well
You had me believin in our love, that we had it all

Something makes me think you’ve done this before
But just a matter of time before some girl evens the score

Chorus
Why'd you waste my time
Why'd you tell me there was something there that we didn’t have

Why’d you waste my time
Wish you told me some sort of lie as you walked out the door
It’s not you it’s me, or some other line you used before
Why'd you waste my time

Verse
Signs were there things were moving way to fast
Guess I refused to see
You and I wouldn't last

Knew love never stays the same, feelings can change
Got caught in the moment, then you walked away

Chorus
Why'd you waste my time
Why'd you tell me there was something there that we didn’t have

Why’d you waste my time
Wish you told me some sort of lie as you walked out the door
It’s not you it’s me, or some other line you used before
Why'd you waste my time

Bridge
Sure gonna miss how good you look in boots, hat and jeans
Sure gonna miss your kiss and holdin you close as can be
But I ain’t gonna miss the way that you walked out on me

Chorus
Why'd you waste my time
Why'd you tell me there was something there that we didn’t have

Why’d you waste my time
Wish you told me some sort of lie as you walked out the door
It’s not you it’s me, or some other line you used before
Why'd you waste my time
Why'd you waste my time
Why'd you waste my time

Waste My Time

John Kelly Wilson is a songwriter whose influences come from a wide variety of music genres. Growing up listening to all types of music including country, rock, pop, R&B/Soul, standards, singer/songwriters, etc, you can find those elements in the songs he's creating. As much as he loves great melodies/hooks/lyrics, he found he always gravitated to wanting to know who wrote the music/lyrics, and who the the studio players are, and what their creative process and inspirations were behind the songs. His knowledge and interest in the songwriters, producers, session musicians, and the artists of all music genres, especially country, runs deep!

Having always loved country music, his focus has been on song output inspired by the current contemporary country sound, country pop, and classic country. Working with several top producers in Nashville, TN, and A-List session players, with vocals provided by great Nashville studio veterans, these songs/demos are the beginning of a diverse country music catalog that continues to grow with many more songs in production, and on the way. He's also beginning to write a number of pop and R&B songs, and instrumentals.

Recently, several of his songs, including "(Tonight) Let's Live For Today" and "Always Looking" in both March and April 2021, "I Know You Know" in January 2023, and "Summer Sunday Drivin'" in November 2023 were selected as Top 5 Songs Of The Month by top industry publication Songwriter Universe Magazine. In addition, "(Tonight) Let's Live For Today" was selected as Broadjam's Song Of The Month in October 2021. Also, his songs have been semi-finalists out of thousands of entries in the Music City SongStar Songwriting contest, and the International Songwriting Competition. He has also placed several tracks in advertising and TV sync opportunities. He simply loves writing, and hopes others love his music too.  

All his songs are licensed with BMI, and available for use/recording. Hope you enjoy them!
