Garbage

I gave everything a chance

Holding on with both my hands

Pure-hearted intentions, dimmed like redemption

Too naive to last

High heels on the broken glass

Cracked my ankles on the path

Endless distraction, burnt-out reaction

The voice inside me gasps

Oh, wait

I believe nothing is a waste

Don't go and throw it all away

I know that love is not a waste

When life just doesn't go my way

Even though everything has changed

Won't throw it all away

Told myself I'm bound to lose

Trading fortunes for my youth

Driving for attention, feeling good for nothing

Where's the turnaround?

All this shiny world can bring

All this gold is not glistening

Tattooed on my shoulder, I'm feeling half alive

But pain can turn to closure, turning on a dime

Oh, wait

I believe nothing is a waste

Don't go and throw it all away

I know that love is not a waste

When life just doesn't go my way

Even though everything has changed

Won't throw it all away

I feel like my life has hung me on a string

And all my plans are pulled into the in-between

But, oh, wait

I believe nothing is a waste

Won't go and throw it all away

I know that love is not a waste

When life just doesn't go my way

Even though everything has changed

Won't throw it all away
