Waste Staind

[Verse 1]
Your mother came up to me
She wanted answers only she should know
Only she should know
It wasn't easy to deal
With the tears that rolled down her face
I had no answers 'cause, I didn't even know you

[Chorus]
But these words, they can't replace
The life you, the life you waste

[Verse 2]
How could you paint this picture?
Was life as bad as it should seem
That there were no more options for you?
I can't explain how I feel
I've been there many times before
I've tasted the cold steel of my life crashing down before me

[Chorus]
But these words, they can't replace
The life you, the life you waste

[Verse 3]
Did Daddy not love you?
Or did he love you just too much?
Did he control you?
Did he live through you at your cost?
Did he leave no questions
For you to answer on your own?
