Standin' at the back door
she tried to make it fast
one tear hit the hardwood
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 pourin' raindrops
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
Waitin'
To wake up one day and find
That I let all these years go by
Wasted
Another glass of whiskey
but it still don't kill the pain
so he stumbles to the sink
and pours it down the drain He said "it's time to be a man
and stop livin' for yesterday
Gotta face it..."
Cause I don't wanna spend my life jaded
Waitin'
To wake up one day and find
that I let all these years go by
Wasted
Oh, I don't wanna keep on wishin'
Missin'
The still of the morning the color of the night
I ain't spendin' no more time
Wasted
She kept drivin' along
till the moon and the sun were
floatin' side-by-side
He looked in the mirror
and his eyes were clear for the first time
in awhile... yeah...
Oh, I don't wanna spend my life jaded
Waitin' To wake up one day and find
that I let all these years go by
Wasted
Oh, I don't wanna keep on wishin'
Missin'
The still of the morning
the color of the night
I ain't spendin' no more time
Wasted
Oh, I don't wanna spend my life jaded
Waitin'
To wake up one day and find
that I let all these years go by
Wasted
Yeah, yeah
Oh, I don't wanna keep on wishin'
Missin'
The still of the morning
the color of the night
I ain't spendin' no more time
Wasted
