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
