Wasted

from Beggars 7" by Beggars

/

lyrics

I never said it was easy choosing a path with no escape standing strong face to face with these nightmares. Watching you piss away your life with that can of beer in your hand. You made it clear what you valued and who you loved, it wasn’t me and it sure wasn’t mom. Growing up, you made it a point to show us you were not the hero of our story. When you see me now, you can’t fight back tears. The getaway that you created made you miss all of my best years. When you wake up you will find you wasted my whole life. You still blame me for every fault in your life, you know exactly what to say to leave me wishing I was never born, in fact, you’ve said those exact words to me. But, you can’t even say ‘I’m wrong’ or ‘I’m sorry’. So much pride keeping you from moving forward, making changes for the better, giving validation for the hurts that I feel. If you could look me in the eyes just once it would mean the whole world to me. This song is dedicated to all those that have fathers but still felt like orphans.
