Duet with Porter Wagoner Writer Dolly Parton Copyright 1970 There's nothing left to tie us to each other anymore The love we knew is gone and that's a fact we can't ignore There's nothing left to loose ends on all the ties that bind I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine There's no use in wasting the good years that we have left When we might find happiness with somebody else There's no chance for us we can see it we're not blind I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine The blame belongs to both of us I guess we didn't try Love is like a garden that wilts if it's left to die The flower of love can't bloom if the sun don't ever shine I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine Though it hurts we know we must leave it all behind I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine You're wasting mine you're wasting mine
