Countless Tears Have Been Wasted
c. 2003 Zachary Lang Freiwald

Countless tears have been wasted
But, love marches on
Broken hearts and washed out memories
Keep me drinkin' till the dawn

You turned this town ugly
Ripped it inside out
It was sweet little place
But now its full of doubt

Chorus:
I've burned short bridges I thought I could mend
Burned some a mile long
And through the ashes of it all
I still don't know just what went wrong

Its miserable and ridiculous
To be apart for so damn long
Two years out of three years
I've been far off and gone

From Georgia to Korea
And places inbetween
Life slips away
What a waste its been

Chorus:
I've burned short bridges I thought I could mend
Burned some a mile long
And through the ashes of it all
I still don't know just what went wrong

I've missed out with my family
And the ones that I hold dear
Birthdays and anniversaries
Sad and happy tears

Kept walking for no reason
Barefoot in the clay
Thunderstorm opened up on me
And the rain cleansed my day
