Wasted
凯莉·安德伍德Carrie Underwood Lyrics

Standing at the back door
She's at the back door, reflecting on her current situation

She tried to make it fast
She's in a rush to leave her current situation behind

One tear hit the hard wood
She's crying and her tears fall like broken glass

She said sometimes love slips away
She acknowledges that love can be unpredictable

And you just can't get it back
She recognizes that once love is lost, it's difficult to regain

Let's face it
She's accepting the reality of her situation

For one split second
She considers turning back from her decision

She almost turned around
She was close to changing her mind

But that would be like pouring rain drops
Turning back would be pointless, like trying to reverse the rain

Back into a cloud
Just as rain goes back into a cloud, trying to change things would be futile

So she took another step and said
She decides to move forward and find a way out

I see the way out, and I'm gonna take it
She has a plan and is determined to follow through with it

I don't wanna spend my life jaded
She doesn't want to live a bitter and disillusioned life

Waiting to wake up one day and find
She doesn't want to realize too late that she's lost valuable time

That I let all these years go by
She's aware that time is fleeting and doesn't want to waste it

Wasted
She doesn't want to waste her life

Another glass of whiskey but it still don't kill the pain
He's trying to numb the pain, but it persists

So he stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain
He realizes that drinking won't solve anything and decides to stop

He said it's time to be a man and stop living for yesterday
He's taking responsibility for his actions and resolving to live in the present

'Cause I don't wanna spend my life jaded
He doesn't want to live a life filled with bitterness and regret

Oh, I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing
He doesn't want to constantly wish for something he can't have, or miss what he's lost

The still of the morning, the color of the night
He doesn't want to miss the beauty in life, even the small details

I ain't spending no more time
He's done wasting his time

She kept drivin' along
She continued moving forward

Till the moon and the sun were floating side-by-side
She kept going until day turned into night

He looked in the mirror and his eyes were clear
He sees himself differently now and has a better sense of clarity

For the first time in a while, hey, yeah
It's been a while since he's felt this way

Oh, I don't wanna spend my life jaded
He repeats his desire to avoid a bitter and regretful life

Waiting to wake up one day and find
He doesn't want to realize he's wasted time too late

That I let all these years go by
He doesn't want to waste his time anymore

Wasted
He repeats that he doesn't want to waste his time

Oh, I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing
He reiterates that he doesn't want to constantly long for something he doesn't have or miss what he's lost

The still of the morning, the color of the night
He repeats that he wants to appreciate the beauty in life, no matter how small

I ain't spending no more time
He's done wasting his time

Wasted, yeah, yeah
He repeats that he doesn't want to waste his time
