Lyrics:
I gotta tell you that he waited all his life
For someone like you to come make the wrong things right
I know he didn't have the answers all the time
But you can't tell me that you never told a lie
Chorus-
We're almost twenty three and you're still mad at me
So much that I said to you and I want to take it back now
Twenty three and it's so sad to me
You tell the world I'm dead to you but I know you want me back now
Was it fun for you to watch him fall apart
And suffocate him while you held him in your arms
I swear to god I wish he never let you in
I just hope we never hear from you again
Chorus
Wasted on you, Wasted on you
Chorus

| i love this song, especially the contrast between the verses where sean's is telling the person to stay away and the chorus where you can tell that there is some remorse in the whole situation | |
