[Verse] You always said you’d be a big star Drive across town in your flash car Where are you now, what’s become of you You walk the streets in your worn out shoes [Verse] There’s nothing left of the man I knew The drugs that you need took your youth How could it be that you became like this Just wasting your life ... to get your next fix [Verse] I was there ... when you started out It was just a smoke, just messing about If only after that, you’d decided to quit Instead of fallin' deep ... into a bottomless pit [Verse] How did this happen, how could you fall I remember YOU, when you stood so tall So much to give, every thing too lose Why’d you take a path, only a fool would choose [Chorus] Why’d you throw it all away Why’d you throw it all away Why’d you throw it all away Where you sleepin' today Where are you now What’s become of you [Bridge: anger in the voice, a little louder and faster] You took a path too many do You threw it all away and chose to lose Whatever it was that brought it on The way it is, is so very, very wrong [Chorus] Why’d you throw it all away Why’d you throw it all away Why’d you throw it all away Where you sleepin' today Where are you now What’s become of you What’s become of you What’s become of you [Outro]
