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

I ain't spendin' no more time

Wasted
