My words always lose their meaning 'cause I talk to much Hers were always too profound 'cause silence was her crutch "Don't worry," she said, "life is too short and you're too serious" (12 hours) I will always be half-hearted just because she's not what I can't have If I told the whole truth now, it would ruin everything I ever said One more half-lie to justify, I'll twist the truth until I'm dead And we fell through the threshold last night One day closer to dying and one more old man here to say, "Don't waste your life away" (Don't waste your life away) I looked back with such disdain at 20 years gone down the drain (Wasting my life away, now wake up, now wake up) Two decades of arrogance drowned out my newfound impetus Every day I treaded life, she got swept up in my tide (Wasting my life away, now wake up or die off) How do I apologize for ruining our lives?
