- Wasted LyricsStanding at the back door she tried to make it fast
One tear hit the hard wood it fell like broken glass
She said, "Sometimes love slips away
And you just can't get it back, let's face it"
For one split second, she almost turned around
But that would be like pouring rain drops 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 jaded, waiting
To wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by wasted
Another glass of whiskey but it still don't kill the pain
So he stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain
He says, "It's time to be a man and stop living for yesterday
Gotta face it"
'Cause I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting
To wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by wasted
Oh I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I ain't spending no more time wasted
She kept drivin' along
'Til the moon and the sun were floating side-by-side
He looked in the mirror and his eyes were clear
For the first time in a while, yeah yeah
Oh, I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting
To wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by wasted
Oh I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I ain't spending no more time wasted
Oh I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting
To wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by wasted, yeah, yeah
Oh I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I ain't spending no more time wasted

Facts about Wasted
✔️
Wasted is written by Marv Green, Hillary Lee Lindsey, Troy Verges.
✔️
It is first released on November 15, 2005 as part of Carrie Underwood's album "Some Hearts" which includes 14 tracks in total. This song is the opening track on this album.
✔️
When we think about what all of this might truly mean, Carrie Underwood's 'Wasted' is about a life that is not worth living overflowing with regrets and missed chances. The song suggests living one's life to the fullest and enjoying everything to the hilt instead of reminiscing or longing for the impossible. The singer illustrates the point of the song with the metaphor of pouring raindrops back into the cloud where they were before, thereby emphasizing the futility of trying to go back and undo the mistakes, so one might as well focus on the present and future. The Wasted lyrics decode the message that mostly revolves around reflecting, heartbreak, empowerment, nostalgia, and freedom. Moreover, the song points out that reflection without regret, moving on with self-empowerment is necessary. The lyrics touch upon the issues of heartbreak, regret, and alcohol use which probably are not suitable for the very young. Though there is no profanity or very graphic content, the emotional heaviness and drinking references imply that parental guidance will be helpful.

Perfect AA song. Everyone has pain - Not everyone can deal - Some make the wrong choices and pay high prices! Don't spend another minute wasted!

this song is a reminder of the pain and struggle i felt when he left. and how i was strong enough to fight the tears and finding a way to be happy again.
