Wasted Lyrics by Blue Rodeo

The Things We Left Behind

2009

[Verse 1]
Getting high don't make you happy
Still it's all you ever do
One day the life of the party
Now you haven't a clue
All that was a distant memory
Now you're feelin' so blue
A passing tear still it makes you laugh
As another morning comes too soon

[Chorus]
You think you're so smart
You got your plan, you've got it all worked out
You can fool your friends but you won't get far
With that broken heart of yours forever lettin' you down
You can't explain it, might as well get wasted

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Every day starts with the promise
This'll be the last time
But come the late night with its sorrows
And you feel like gettin' high
When all the world seems so far away
And you don't care why
Precious sleep is all you really need
But you just can't close your eyes

[Chorus]
You got so much love to give
But now it's all just slippin' away
Can't take yourself for another day
With that broken heart of yours forever lettin' you down
You can't explain it, might as well get wasted

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You think you're so smart
You got your plan, you've got it all worked out
You can fool your friends but you won't get far
With that broken heart of yours forever lettin' you down
