Wasted Potential
Heard a saying once
Once you're older you'll
Understand what it means
To be grateful
Well, I'm older now but all I am is bitter
Wasted potential
Oh, I cried every night in my teenage years
Never knew what to meant to be content
Oh, I don't understand anything anymore
So tired of this life, never here, never sure
Oh, I don't understand anything anymore
So tired of this life, never here, never sure
Oh, I'm crying on the bathroom floor
Even alone, I judge myself, how embarrassing
No, I don't understand how to leave it alone
Expectations are killing me, and I'm worked to the bone
Guess it's just wasted potential
Guess it's just wasted potential
All my friends are busy
Not like we used to be
Finally understand the saying
"Young and Free"
No longer young in the eyes of society
Can you still make mistakes
Once you're above eighteen?
Oh, I cried every night in my teenage years
Never knew what to meant to be content
Oh, I don't understand anything anymore
So tired of this life, never here, never sure
Oh, I don't understand anything anymore
So tired of this life, never here, never sure
Oh, I'm crying on the bathroom floor
Even alone, I judge myself, how embarrassing
No, I don't understand how to leave it alone
Expectations are killing me, and I'm worked to the bone
Guess it's just wasted potential
Guess it's just wasted potential
Oh, I'm tired of getting up everyday
Pretending everything's alright
And I'm tired of screaming and crying
Quietly in my room until the sunrise
And I'm tired of trying to fix
The things I didn't break but broke anyways
Yeah, I'm tired of waiting for someone
To see who I am and still decide to stay
Oh, I'm crying on the bathroom floor
Even alone, I judge myself, how embarrassing
No, I don't understand how to leave it alone
Expectations are killing me, and I'm worked to the bone
Oh, I'm crying on the bathroom floor
Even alone, I judge myself, how embarrassing
No, I don't understand how to leave it alone
Expectations are killing me, and I'm worked to the bone
Guess it's just wasted potential
Guess it's just wasted potential
Once you're older you'll
Understand what it means
To be grateful
Well, I'm older now but all I am is bitter
Wasted potential
Oh, I cried every night in my teenage years
Never knew what to meant to be content
Oh, I don't understand anything anymore
So tired of this life, never here, never sure
Oh, I don't understand anything anymore
So tired of this life, never here, never sure
Oh, I'm crying on the bathroom floor
Even alone, I judge myself, how embarrassing
No, I don't understand how to leave it alone
Expectations are killing me, and I'm worked to the bone
Guess it's just wasted potential
Guess it's just wasted potential
All my friends are busy

Expectations are killing me, and I'm worked to the bone
Guess it's just wasted potential
Guess it's just wasted potential
