Wasted Years

[Verse 1] There's a game life plays Makes you think you're everything they ever said you were Like to take some time Clear away everything I planned [Chorus] Was it life I betrayed for the shape that I'm in? It's not hard to fail, it's not easy to win Did I drink too much? Could I disappear? And there's nothing that's left but wasted years [Post-Chorus] There's nothing left but wasted years There's nothing left but wasted years [Verse 2] If I could change my life Be a simple kind of man, try to do the best I can If I could see the signs I'd derail every path I could Now I'm about to die Won't you clear away from me? Give me strength to fly away [Chorus] Was it life I betrayed for the shape that I'm in? It's not hard to fail, it's not easy to win Did I drink too much? Could I disappear? And there's nothing that's left but wasted years [Post-Chorus] There's nothing left but wasted years (There's nothing left but wasted years) There's nothing left but wasted years [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Was it life I betrayed for the shape that I'm in? It's not hard to fail, it's not easy to win Did I drink too much? Could I disappear? And there's nothing that's left but wasted years [Post-Chorus] Was it life I betrayed? (There's nothing left but wasted years) For the shape that I'm in (There's nothing left but wasted years) Did I drink too much? (There's nothing left but wasted years) For those wasted years (There's nothing left but wasted years) [Outro] Was it life I betrayed? For the shape that I'm in It's not hard to fail It's not easy to win
