Look around, at the world, now that you're a big girl   I can see tears in your eyes   Well I've been there myself, it's not good for your health   That's the main thing I surmise      Just when you think that heaven is there   All of your friends say life isn't fair   Just when you think that God's on your side   All of a sudden, the news hurts you inside   And that's the taste of wasted tears      There are people who laugh, there are people who cry   Everyday, I am another one   But my heart it goes out to those people who doubt   Can they all be sinners, everyone?      Just when you think that heaven is there   All of your friends say life isn't fair   Just when you think that God's on your side   All of a sudden, the news hurts you inside   And that's the taste of wasted tears      I love the falling rain but I hate my pounding brain   I love the passing year   But I hate the taste of wasted tears   I hate the taste of wasted tears      Anybody can say the world gets better each day   Does it really? Can you show it me?   'Cause the sky can look black as you look down the track   Can the train get past the falling leaves?      Just when you think that heaven is there   All of your friends say life isn't fair   Just when you think that God's on your side   All of a sudden, the news hurts you inside   And that's the taste of wasted tears      I love the falling rain but I hate my pounding brain   I love the passing year   But I hate the taste of wasted tears   I hate the taste of wasted tears, tears
