Wasted Tears lyrics

[Verse 1]
Left all alone
I'm not ashamed to say I had to cry
Been lookin’ back
I lost my head, but I don’t know why
Turns out that every night, oh, I cried
Those wasted tears, yeah

[PreChorus]
I can't erase, can't get back into the yesterday
If I knew then what I know now, I would've walked away
It's so hard to breathe when love's buried alive, alive, alive

[Chorus]
Boy, you really made me look a fool
You stole my heart and left it black and blue
But I can see now that the clouds are clear
I’ve been crying wasted, wasted tears
So take your promises, get on your way (Get on your way)
I'm burning memories up in flames (Up in flames)
‘Cause I can see now that the clouds are clear
I've been crying wasted, wasted tears

[Verse 2]
I swear the earth, the universe was falling from the sky
You built me up to let me down like a broken lullaby
I kinda want you to feel what it's like to break, break, break
[Chorus]
Boy, you really made me look a fool
You stole my heart and left it black and blue
But I can see now that the clouds are clear
I’ve been crying wasted, wasted tears
So take your promises, get on your way (Get on your way)
I'm burning memories up in flames (Up in flames)
‘Cause I can see now that the clouds are clear
I've been crying wasted, wasted tears

[Bridge]
Had me crying
You were lyin'
I was dyin’
Well, that’s not love, that’s not love
Had me cryin’, cryin’
You were lyin’, lyin’
Oh, I was dyin', dyin'
Well, that’s not love, that’s not love

[Chorus]
Boy, you really made me look a fool
You stole my heart and left it black and blue
But I can see now that the clouds are clear
I’ve been crying wasted, wasted tears
So take your promises, get on your way (Get on your way)
I'm burning memories up in flames (Up in flames)
‘Cause I can see now that the clouds are clear
I've been crying wasted, wasted tears
[Outro]
Turns out that every night, oh
I cried those wasted tears
