Well baby, there you stand
With your little head, down in your hand
Oh, my God, you can't believe
It抯 happening again
your baby's gone, and you're all alone
and it looks like the end.
And you're back out on the street.
And you're tryin' to remember.
How will you start it over?
You don't know if you can.
You don't care much for a stranger's touch,
but you can't hold your man.
You never thought you'd be alone
this far down the line
And I know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time
The autumn leaves have got you thinking
about the first time that you fell
You didn't love the boy too much, no, no
you just loved the boy too well, farewell
So you live from day to day, and you dream
about tomorrow, oh.
And the hours go by like minutes
and the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something
to make them go away
And I could have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind from wonderin' what
I left behind and from worrying 'bout this wasted time
Ooh, another love has come and gone
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me
before you went out on your own:
"Sometimes to keep it together,
you got to leave it alone."
So you can get on with your search, baby,
and I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find,
that it wasn't really wasted time
Mm,hm
Oh hoo, ooh, ohh,
Ooh,ooh, mm

Isn't the whole moral of the song that it's a waste of time to look back and dwell on lost love? You have to move on....
"I could have done so many things babe
If I could only stop my mind
From wonderin what I left behind
And from worrying about this wasted time"
Just my take on it.

You're close. That is part of it. But it is more so a lesson about just because you loved someone and lost them, that love was not a waste.

When words are spoken in truth the truer they are the more they resonate, like fine crystal even if they're message is salt in your wounds.
