Dear Rouge - Garbage Lyrics

I gave everything a chance
Holding on with both my hands
Pure heart intentioned
Dimmed like redemption
Too naive to last

High heels on the broken glass
Cracked my ankles on the path
Endless distraction
Burnt out reaction
Voice inside me gasps

Oh wait
I believe nothing is a waste
Don't go and throw it all away
I know that love is not a waste
When life just doesn't go my way
Even though everything has changed
Won't throw it all away

Told myself I'm bound to lose
Trading fortunes for my youth
Driving for attention
Feeling good for nothing
Where's the turn around?

All this shiny world can bring
All that's gold's not glistening
Tattooed on my shoulder
I'm feeling half alive
But pain can turn to closure
Turning on a dime

Oh wait
I believe nothing is a waste
Don't go and throw it all away
I know that love is not a waste
When life just doesn't go my way
Even though everything has changed
Won't throw it all away

I feel like my life has hung me on a string
And all my plans are pulled into the inbetween

But oh wait
I believe nothing is a waste
Won't go and throw it all away
I know that love is not a waste
When life just doesn't go my way
Even though everything has changed
Won't throw it all away
