I made a promise to myself
But i never keep my word
I sit alone and waste my days
Cross-legged on the curb
When i thought I'd lost it all
I lost a little more
When I thought I'd hit the ground
I fell straight through the floor
Take a little more of my time
I waste a little more each day

i swallow down all of my pride
when you come 'round my way
but now i've got no appetite
and i've got so much to say
when i thought i had it down
i watched it fly away
when i woke up this morning
it felt just like yesterday
take it all away, all of my time
i waste a little more each day

I define myself by my accomplishments
I can't define myself at all
I had a vision, it told me how to begin
But i can't remember what I saw

guess i'm my own worst enemy
but i've known that all along
the truth is so hard to set free
but the lies roll off my tongue
when i'm sitting home alone
i still feel out of place
i wish i could be someone else
but i'm just a waste of space
i throw it all away, all of my time
i waste a little more
waste a little more
i waste a little more each day
