I threw him out like he was trash one night
The dumbest thing I've ever done
He was the best thing that I'll ever find
Yeah, a waste is a terrible thing to mind

And I'm going crazy in these four white walls
All I feel is his ghost walking by
I wish I didn't see how politely I was blind
Yeah, a waste is a terrible thing to mind
Yeah, a waste is a terrible thing to mind

I keep me warm with the bridges above
That won't give me warmth alone
There is a few slipping deeper into time
Yeah, a waste is a terrible thing to mind

And I'm going crazy in these four white walls
All I feel is his ghost walking by
I wish I didn't see how politely I was blind
Yeah, a waste is a terrible thing to mind
A waste is a terrible thing to mind
A waste is a terrible thing to mind
