Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well I've been lying awake all night just thinking of you

But a bottle of whiskey lies heavy obstructing my view

I've got a bottle of pills to give me my thrills

And I know I'm leading a life that kills

[Verse 2]

Wasted, I've wasted my time

Wasted, I'm shooting a line

Wasted, I'm stuck in a hole

Wasted, I'm losing control

[Verse 3]

And I've been meaning to call, I've been wanting to phone

You see I don't like the thought of leaving you here alone

Well I've seen things down here that are fit for a queen

I've seen things down here that should never be seen

[Verse 4]

Wasted, I've wasted my money

Wasted, wasted you honey

Wasted, I'm out of my brain

Wasted, I'm going insane

[Verse 5]

I'm running in thin air

There's nothingness everywhere

I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me?

I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me?

I've gotta get out, oh won't you help me get out?

[Verse 6]

I thought I saw you just the other day

But it couldn't be you 'cause you had nothing to say

"He's going away," they told all my friends

Well, now he's stuck in here till the misery ends

[Verse 7]

Wasted, I've wasted my time

Wasted, I'm shooting a line

Wasted, I'm out of my head

Wasted, I wish I was dead
