TONIGHT ALIVE

- Wasting Away Lyrics

And so the sky becomes a dream
I never dreamt because I'm just too busy
Waiting for nothing and wasting away

Don't tell me its too hard
You were never there from the start
I'm not about to give this up
Giving up was never enough

And so the sky becomes a dream
I never dreamt because I'm just too busy
Waiting for nothing and wasting away
And so the sky it watched my dreams
Fall to pieces right in front of me
Cause I'm just too busy
Waiting for nothing and wasting away

And I'd never wish for anything more
Than to find what I've been looking for
And I swore to myself I wouldn't lie to myself
How could I let this happen?
So I take myself aside to take the time
To tell myself its alright
Cause you weren't there to dry my eyes

And so the sky becomes a dream
I never dreamt because I'm just too busy
Waiting for nothing and wasting away
And so the sky it watched my dreams
Fall to pieces right in front of me
Cause I'm just too busy
Waiting for nothing and wasting away
Wasting, wasting away
