2013年美国好声音 Wasted - Danielle Bradbery

Editor:

Standin' at the back door

She tried to make it fast

One tear hit the hardwood

It fell like broken glass

She said, sometimes love slips¹ away

And you just can't get it back.

Let's face it.

For one split² second

She almost turned around

But that would be like pourin' raindrops

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 jaded³

Waitin'

To wake up one day and find

That I let all these years go by

Wasted

Another glass of whiskey

But it still don't kill the pain

So he stumbles⁴ to the sink

And pours it down the drain⁵

He said it's time to be a man

And stop livin' for yesterday

Gotta face it...

Cause I don't wanna spend my life jaded

Oh, I don't wanna keep on wishin'

Missin'

The still of the morning

The color of the night

I ain't spendin' no more time

She kept drivin' along

Till the moon and the sun were

Floatin' side-b-yside

He looked in the mirror

And his eyes were clear for the first time

In awhile... yeah...

Oh, I don't wanna spend my life jaded

Yeah, yeah
