[Verse 1]
Standing at the back door
She tried to make it fast
One tear hit the hard wood
It fell like broken gla**
She said sometimes love slips away
And you just cannot get it back
Let us 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 am getting to take it
[Chorus]
I do not want to spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I had let all these years go by
Wasted
[Verse 2]
Another gla** of whisky but it still does not k** 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
Got to face it
[Chorus]
Because I do not want to spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I had let all these years go by
Wasted
Oh I do not want to keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I will not spend any more time
Wasted
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Hey, yeah
Oh, I do not want to spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I had let all these years go by
Wasted
Oh I do not want to keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I will not spend any more time
Wasted
[Chorus]
Oh, I do not want to spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I had let all these years go by
Wasted
Yeah, yeah
Oh I do not want to keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I will not spend any more time
Wasted
