Waste - Staind

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 had 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 that, 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 have failed, I’ve fucked up, I’ve had plans

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 don’t replace

The life you, the life you waste
