Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Suppose I'm naive, but hard to believe
A person could make life so cheap
It's worth nothing today 'cause you threw it away
Self-indulgence, it took you too deep
In a whole lot of nothing, you got up and went
Leaving behind all the people you spent
I guess they can call you a friend
You took them for a ride to the very end
[Chorus]
What a waste
What a waste
What a waste of life
What a waste
[Bridge]
So in the end you didn't have no friends
'Cause they sat and watched you die
A lot of bridges burned, but no lessons learned
But plenty of reasons to cry
[Verse 2]
Suppose I'm naive, but hard to believe
A person could make life so cheap
It's worth nothing today 'cause you threw it away
Self-indulgence, it took you too deep
In a whole lot of nothing, you got up and went
Leaving behind all the people you spent
I guess they can call you a friend
You took them for a ride to the very end
[Chorus]
What a waste
What a waste
What a waste of life
What a waste
[Verse 3]
No communication
Complete separation
No talk, no chance to help
I am guilty, I failed you
As a person who should have cared
I shut my mouth
Because I was scared
I hid my feelings when they should have been bared
And I turned you off and
And I, I should have cared
