Nothing Wasted, Nothing Gained
Stephen F. Brines, Sam Bush
Commonwealth
If love (if love) has bright eyes
I can judge by your face
Why did (why did) you come back
Anyway
But as long (but as long) as you're here
You might as well stay
Nothing wasted, nothing gained.
Don't say (don't say) that I'm cruel
If I tell the truth
I gave (I gave) up kindness
After you
I'll take (I'll take) your tears now
A smile used to do
Prove to me you want me
With your fame
Nothing wasted, nothing gained
Chorus:
Hold me closely
One more time
Try to realize
The fire that's died
If you wanna make love
It's all right
Even if the morning
Changes your mind
Nothing wasted, nothing gained
I still (I still) think of you
In so many ways
Your part of my best yesterday (yesterday)
I hate (I hate) to see them
Fade away
Already life goes by too fast
Can't just one thing stay the same
Chorus:
