Standing at the back door 
She tried to make it fast 
One tear hit the hard wood 
It felt like broken glass 
She said sometimes love slips away 
And you just can't get it back 
Let's face it 

For once this second 
She almost turned around 
But that would be like pouring rain 
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've let all these years go by 
Wasted 

Another glass of whisky and it still don't kill the pain 
So he stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain 
He says it's time to be a man and stop living for yesterday 
Face it. 

Cause' I don't wanna' spend my life jaded 
Waiting to wake up one day and find 
That I've let all these years go by 
Wasted 

Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing 
But still every 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've let all these years go by 
Wasted 

Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing 
But still every 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've let all these years go by 
Wasted 

Yeah, yeah 
Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing 
But still every morning' the color of the night 
I ain't spending no more time 
Wasted
