Wasted lyrics

Standing at the back door,

She tried to make it fast;

One tear hit the hard wood,

It fell like broken glass.

She said: 'Sometimes love slips away

And you just can't get it back...

Let's face it...'

For one split second,

She almost turned around

But, that would be like pouring rain drops

Back into a cloud!

So she took another step and said:

'I see the way out and I'm gonna' take it'.

I don't wanna spend my life jaded,

Waiting to wake up one day and find

That I've let all these years go by

Wasted...

Another glass of whisky

But it still don't kill the pain.

So, he stumbles to the sink

And pours it down the drain,

He says: 'It's time to be a man

And stop living for yesterday...

Gotta face it!'

Cause' I don't wanna spend my life jaded,

Waiting to wake up one day and find

That I've let all these years go by

Wasted...

Oh, I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing

The still of the morning, the color of the night...

I ain't spending no more time

Wasted!

She kept drivin' along

Till the moon and the sun

Were floating side-by-side.

He looked in the mirror

And his eyes were clear,

For the first time in a while...

Hey, yeah!

Oh, I don't wanna spend my life jaded,

Waiting to wake up one day and find

That I've let all these years go by

Wasted...

Oh, I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing

The still of the morning, the color of the night...

I ain't spending no more time

Wasted!
