You waste away,
you waste away everything,
there'll be pain
but that's price we've got to pay
to make a change
so don't waste away
[Chorus]
cause I can see it everyday
you want to walk away
and make a change
so baby, baby, baby don't you wait
and let it waste away
- - -
I feel your pain
I see it coming up on you
so turn away
I'm gonna help you make it through
all the rain
that's clouding up your days
[2nd Chorus]
the sun will bring forth brighter days
it's gonna wash away
all your pain
and I'll see a smile back on your face
*E
don't let it waste away

Cause I remember yesterday
when you told me you're okay
*D
I see the tracks still on your face
*E
left by the tears caused by the pain
*A
well love can bring you better days
take my hand I'll show you the way
*D
I'll never leave, forever stay
*E
now's our chance so don't waste away

[3rd Chorus]
Cause I can see it everyday
you want to walk away
from all the pain
well look to me baby I'm the way
don't let me waste away
You waste away
don't waste away everything
