Wasted Tears

Haley Reinhart · Listen Up! [2012]

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
