Waste

Staind

3

Your mother came up to me

She wanted answers only she should know, only she should know

It wasn't easy to deal

With the tears that rolled down her face

I have no answers 'cause

I didn't even know you

But these words

They can't replace

The life you

The life you waste

How could you paint this picture?

Was life as bad as it should seem?

That there were no more options for you

I can't explain how I feel

I've been there many times before

I've tasted the cold steel of my life crashing down before me

But these words

They can't replace

The life you

The life you waste

Did Daddy not love you?

Or did he love you just too much?

Did he control you?

Did he live through you at your cost?

Did he leave no questions for you to answer on your own?

Well fuck them

And fuck her

And fuck him

And fuck you

For not having the strength in your heart to pull through

I've had doubts, I've had fears

I've fucked up, I've had plan

Doesn't mean I should take my life with my own hands

But these words

They can't replace

The life you

The life you waste

But these words

They now replace

The life you

The life you waste
