Waste Away Lyrics by Strung Short

It’s Better Than Bad, It’s Good

2022

[Chorus: Jason Duran]
Counting down the days until they waste away to dust
To dust
I still wish you well, just hope you go to hell with him
With him
[Verse 1: Jordan Rupp]
Can't talk my way out of this tragedy
Your voice rang from the phone
"Romeo, oh Romeo, your Juliet's not coming home"
Your tears fell as you screamed and cried that night
And left me all alone
My own devices can't be trusted
Drown me in your sorrow
[Pre-Chorus: Bryan Bosler and Jordan Rupp]
You made a name for yourself, another picture to burn
Strike a match and light the fuse
[Chorus: Jason Duran]
Counting down the days until they waste away to dust
To dust
I still wish you well, just hope you go to hell with him
With him
[Verse 2: Jordan Rupp]
Her secrets fall down at my feet
She leaves behind a past
Of razorblades and valentines
This love was never meant to last
What was she thinking on that night
Before she left for a new life
I'll never know, I'll never know
Black waves, they pull me down below
[Pre-Chorus: Bryan Bosler and Jordan Rupp]
And when I meet you in hell, another lesson you'll learn
Self-centered, use your best excuse
I hope these words play over and over again in your head 'til you're screaming
[Chorus: Jason Duran and Jordan Rupp]
Counting down the days until they waste away to dust
To dust
I still wish you well, just hope you go to hell with him
With him (I can't take this anymore)
[Outro: Jordan Rupp]
I'll drive so far away tonight, under the lights (We're all wasting away)
You'll be wasting away tonight, this is goodbye
