[bad word] of the past
quietly crash
And the tables turn
You're beautiful strange
Defiantly brash
Be careful now

Kid, you're a cut above
Always just a cut above the rest

If there's something left to be learned
Then my time [bad word] 
Why should I waste it all
Wasted on you
I shouldn't be [bad word] 
To live and let go

When the last of my cities have burned
Then what's left in nothing
Why did I waste it all
Wasted on you
I couldn't be [bad word] 
To live and let go

Fill in the blanks
Pencil on paper disposiable
Throw away lines
Intentional but unbelievable

Kid, you're a cut above
Always just a cut above the rest

If there's something left to be learned
Then my time [bad word] 
Why should I waste it all
Wasted on you
I shouldn't be [bad word] 
To live and let go

When the last of my cities have burned
Then what's left in nothing
Why did I waste it all
Wasted on you
I couldn't be [bad word] 
To live and let go

Shaken and tried
Fade and resign
As the tables turn
Let slip away
The renegade life
You've been dreaming of

Kid, you're a cut above
Always just a cut above the rest

If there's something left to be learned
Then my time [bad word] 
Why should I waste it all
Wasted on you
I shouldn't be [bad word] 
To live and let go

When the last of my cities have burned
Then what's left in nothing
Why did I waste it all
Wasted on you
I couldn't be [bad word] 
To live and let go
