Witt Lowry - Wasted Away lyrics

She spends her time getting wasted away
Wasted away
Take a couple more shots to the face
A couple more drinks
She won't mind how that taste
She smiles, but inside she wanna cry
I can see it in here face she's wasted away
Come on now, don't get wasted away
Come on, girl, don't get wasted away
Come now, you can do it, you
Can make it out, girl
If you don't waste it away

Spoiled rotten and she was only eighteen
When she graduated high school
Pursuing her dreams
She wanted money, cars, clothes
You know the finer of things
She had a boyfriend
Just to show she was no one-night fling
And she was happy and content
On the outside it seemed
But inside she felt hurt
Pain was angry and mean
No self-esteem even though she
Was the homecoming queen
Without about a pound of make up
She refused to be seen
You see she loved her mom and dad
But now they didn't love each other
She knows her mom is cheatin'
But she keeps it undercover
'Cause they argue so much
She wonders if they even love her
And on top of that
She's stressed about college
After the summer
Now the stress is building up and
She can't handle the weight
She started hanging out with low life's
'cause they could relate
She started getting drunk and high
Because that made her feel great
No one would've guessed the turn
That her summer would take

She's wasted away, wasted away
Take a couple more shots to the face
A couple more drinks
She won't mind how that taste
She smiles, but inside she wanna cry
I can see it in here face she's wasted away
Come on now, don't get wasted away
Come on, girl, don't get wasted away
Come now, you can do it, you
Can make it out, girl
If you don't waste it away

She's getting caught up in her devilish ways
Her boyfriends tryna call her
Hasn't seen her in days
And he's just hoping that she loves
Him and her feelings don't change
He was always there to take care of
Her when she was in pain
When she would cry about her parent
He would wipe away tears
When she was stressed about college
He would take away fears
He's love for her was still
Growing after four long years
And though he never had much
He'd give her everything here
Then one night she took it on
Herself to alter their fate
Her new friends yelling at her
"Take this shot to the face"
She found herself at a party drunk
Nothing to chase
Went with a dude up to his room
He got his hands on her waist
Things started to escalate
Panties moved to the side she said
"Go 'head and hit raw" so
He slipped it inside
She gave it up for this guy
Then when morning arrived
Texted her boyfriend, it was over
Cold and empty inside

She's wasted away, wasted away
Take a couple more shots to the face
A couple more drinks
She won't mind how that taste
She smiles, but inside she wanna cry
I can see it in here face she's wasted away
Come on now, don't get wasted away
Come on, girl, don't get wasted away
Come now, you can do it, you
Can make it out, girl
If you don't waste it away

She never told him she cheated or
Even gave him a reason
And now his heart is broken, emptied
Depleted she's at the club acting out
All because of the split
And I was there too, the night she drunk
Jumped in her whip tryin' not to get sick
Cruisin' down Route 86
The headlights were too bright
She turned the steerin' wheel quick
And in that moment her whole world
Slowed down to a tic
That's when she drove into the
Driver of an all-blue Buick
And what she saw next
Left her empty and cold
Her boyfriend of four years
Left dead on the road
She starring at the sky screaming, "God
How did this happen?" no one responded
But the devil at her shoulder was laughing
Police later found some flowers and
A note on the seat
The note was about how he loved her
And he wished they could be
And when she heard it was for her
She broke down in defeat
Forever tortured by the same
Words stuck on repeat

She's wasted away, wasted away
Take a couple more shots to the face
A couple more drinks
She won't mind how that taste
She smiles, but inside she wanna cry
I can see it in here face she's wasted away
Come on now, don't get wasted away
Come on, girl, don't get wasted away
Come now, you can do it, you
Can make it out, girl
If you don't waste it away
