She spends her time getting wasted away, wasted away
Take a couple more shots to the face
A couple more drinks, she won't mind how that taste
She smiles, but inside she wanna cry, I can see it in here face
She's wasted away
Come on now, don't get wasted away
Come on, girl, don't get wasted away
Come now, you can do it, you can make it out, girl, if you don't waste it away
Spoiled rotten and she was only eighteen
When she graduated high school, pursuing her dreams
She wanted money, cars, clothes, you know the finer of things
She had a boyfriend, just to show she was no one-night fling
And she was happy and content, on the outside it seemed
But inside she felt hurt, pain was angry and mean
No self-esteem even though she was the homecoming queen
Without about a pound of make up, she refused to be seen
You see she loved her mom and dad, but now they didn't love each other
She knows her mom is cheatin', but she keeps it undercover
'Cause they argue so much, she wonders if they even love her
And on top of that, she's stressed about college after the summer
Now the stress is building up and she can't handle the weight
She started hanging out with low life's, 'cause they could relate
She started getting drunk and high, because that made her feel great
No one would've guessed the turn that her summer would take
She's wasted away, wasted away
Take a couple more shots to the face
A couple more drinks, she won't mind how that taste
She smiles, but inside she wanna cry, I can see it in here face
She's wasted away
Come on now, don't get wasted away
Come on, girl, don't get wasted away
Come now, you can do it, you can make it out, girl, if you don't waste it away
She's getting caught up in her devilish ways
Her boyfriends tryna call her, hasn't seen her in days
And he's just hoping that she loves him and her feelings don't change
He was always there to take care of her when she was in pain
When she would cry about her parent, he would wipe away tears
When she was stressed about college, he would take away fears
He's love for her was still growing after four long years
And though he never had much, he'd give her everything here
Then one night she took it on herself to alter their fate
Her new friends yelling at her, "Take this shot to the face"
She found herself at a party drunk, nothing to chase
Went with a dude up to his room, he got his hands on her waist
Things started to escalate, panties moved to the side
She said, "Go 'head and hit raw," so he slipped it inside
She gave it up for this guy, then when morning arrived
Texted her boyfriend, it was over, cold and empty inside
She's wasted away, wasted away
Take a couple more shots to the face
A couple more drinks, she won't mind how that taste
She smiles, but inside she wanna cry, I can see it in here face
She's wasted away
Come on now, don't get wasted away
Come on, girl, don't get wasted away
Come now, you can do it, you can make it out, girl, if you don't waste it away
She never told him she cheated or even gave him a reason
And now his heart is broken, emptied, depleted
She's at the club acting out, all because of the split
And I was there too, the night she drunk, jumped in her whip
Tryin' not to get sick, Cruisin' down Route 86
The headlights were too bright, she turned the steerin' wheel quick
And in that moment her whole world slowed down to a tic
That's when she drove into the driver of an all-blue Buick
And what she saw next, left her empty and cold
Her boyfriend of four years, left dead on the road
She starring at the sky screaming, "God, how did this happen?"
No one responded, but the devil at her shoulder was laughing
Police later found some flowers and a note on the seat
The note was about how he loved her and he wished they could be
And when she heard it was for her, she broke down in defeat
Forever tortured by the same words stuck on repeat
She's wasted away, wasted away
Take a couple more shots to the face
A couple more drinks, she won't mind how that taste
She smiles, but inside she wanna cry, I can see it in here face
She's wasted away
Come on now, don't get wasted away
Come on, girl, don't get wasted away
Come now, you can do it, you can make it out, girl, if you don't waste it away
