Wasted
¿­Àò¡¤°²µÂÎéµÂCarrie Underwood Lyrics

Standing at the back door
She was standing at the back door, hesitant to leave

She tried to make it fast
She wanted to leave quickly

One tear hit the hard wood
She shed a single tear which fell onto the floor and shattered like glass

It fell like broken glass
The tear fell hard and shattered upon impact

She said sometimes love slips away
She acknowledged the fact that love can unexpectedly vanish

And you just can't get it back
You can't always regain that which is lost

Let's face it
She is accepting the truth and moving on

For one split second
She momentarily considered turning back

She almost turned around
She considered going back

But that would be like pouring rain drops
Going back would be pointless and futile like trying to collect raindrops after they have already fallen

Back into a cloud
Trying to undo the past is like trying to reverse the process of evaporation

So she took another step and said
She took a step forward and declared her determination

I see the way out, and I'm gonna take it
She found a way out and is determined to follow it

Another glass of whiskey but it still don't kill the pain
He drinks to ease his pain, but it doesn't help

So he stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain
He pours out the whiskey because he realizes it won't solve anything

He said it's time to be a man and stop living for yesterday
He decides to take responsibility for his life and move on from the past

Gotta face it
He must confront his problems instead of avoiding them

'Cause I don't wanna spend my life jaded
He doesn't want to let his past mistakes and heartaches ruin his future

Waiting to wake up one day and find
He fears waking up in the future and realizing that he wasted his life

That I let all these years go by
He doesn't want to waste his time and let the years pass him by

Wasted
He doesn't want to waste his life

Oh, I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing
He doesn't want to keep yearning for what he can't have

The still of the morning, the color of the night
He doesn't want to miss the simple moments in life that he took for granted

I ain't spending no more time
He won't waste his time feeling sorry for himself

She kept drivin' along
She continued driving, moving forward with purpose

Till the moon and the sun were floating side-by-side
She kept driving until she saw the sunrise and the full moon in the sky together

He looked in the mirror and his eyes were clear
He sees his reflection and feels a newfound clarity

For the first time in a while, hey, yeah
He hasn't felt this clear-headed in a long time
