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.

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.

Yeah, yeah...

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.
