Waste Lyrics - Break The Cycle - 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 'coz 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 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
