Cover art for Wasted lyrics by Brandi Carlile

Have you ever met someone.. he's a good man but a stubborn man. He doesn't know how to appreciate the quality in his life. And you stand before him and offer the best you can. But he foolishly rebuffs it, and you can tell that he wants it but doesn't know, hasn't been taught, how to take care of a good love. He makes it through life in what seems to be a smooth ride, but you know that he is suffering the greatest of all because he's wasting the most genuine gift in the world: the love of another.
