[Verse 1]
She's got the brightest smile
And it'll last a while
Imprints on your brain
Fear's a tragic tale
With ginger ale
It drives you insane

[Verse 2]
Leech on the longest mile
Saddest waste of style
The blues are fate
Lean on me for the tiles
Are spinning 'round, it's vile
The news is fake
[Chorus]
Strum chords:

I like the smell of rain on the concrete floor
I wish that I could see you forever more
A waste of potential is my hardest sight
I wish that I could help you in the day and night
[Repeat Solo]
[Chorus 2]
I like the smell of pain and my heart beats more
I wish that I could tell you that I'm oh so sure
A waste of potential is the saddest sight
I wasted it with you and now I face my time
A waste of potential is the saddest sight
I lost it all to you and now I taste my crime
[End on E]
