[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 ohhh I cried Those wasted tears yeah [PreChorus] I can't erase, can't get back into 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 I'm burning memories 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 I'm burning memories 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' Hmmm, I was dyin' Well that's not love, that's not love Had me cryin', cryin' You were lyin', lyin' Oh, I was dying, dying 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 I'm burning memories 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, ohhhh I cried those wasted tears
