Wasted

If you had eyes like golden crowns and
diamonds in your fingertips you´d waste it
If shining wisdom passed your lips and
traveled to the ears of God you´d waste it
And so I hate that you´re overrated most
revered and celebrated because you´ll waste it
Then again it´s good to get a call
Now and then just to say hello
Have I said I hate to see you go
I hate to see you go
But ever time you close a door and nothing
opens in its place you´ve wasted
And when you speak the words you know
to those who know the words themselves
you´re wasted
You´re such a classic waste of cool, so afraid to
break the rules in all the wrong places
Then again it´s good to get a call
Now and then just to say hello
Have I said I hate to see you go
I hate to see you go
diamonds in your fingertips you´d waste it
If shining wisdom passed your lips and
traveled to the ears of God you´d waste it
And so I hate that you´re overrated most
revered and celebrated because you´ll waste it
Then again it´s good to get a call
Now and then just to say hello
Have I said I hate to see you go
I hate to see you go
But ever time you close a door and nothing
opens in its place you´ve wasted
And when you speak the words you know
to those who know the words themselves
you´re wasted
You´re such a classic waste of cool, so afraid to
break the rules in all the wrong places
Then again it´s good to get a call
Now and then just to say hello
Have I said I hate to see you go
I hate to see you go
