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

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, waiting

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 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 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 driving 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

Yeah yeah

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

To wake up one day and find

That I 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

I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting

To wake up one day and find
