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, oh I cried was wasted tears yeah

I can't erase, can't get back another yesterday
If I knew then what I know now I would have walked away
It's so hard to breathe when love's buried alive, alive, alive

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

I swear the earth, the universe was falling from the sky
You built me up to let me down a broken lullaby
I kinda want you to feel what it's like to break, break, break

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

Had me crying,
You were lying
I was dying
That's not love, that's not love
Had me crying, crying
You were lying, lying
I was dying, dying
That's not love, that's not love

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

Turns out that every night, oh I cried was wasted tears
