Past

[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
Because 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
I turned you off and, and I, I should have cared
