Wasted
Carrie Underwood
Struggling with Wasted? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
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 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 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 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 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
