So is this what you had planned?
Time's just slipped away
Like sands right through your hands
Driftin' right into another day
Every second growing older
And it shows upon your face
Got the devil on your shoulder
Tempting your next fall from grace
The seeds you have sown
Have since all grown
Sheltered from your wayward winds
And big dark cloud that followed you behind
See how they've thrived
As said, the strong survive
Their mothers gave them warmth and light
Assuring them that things would turn out fine
But where were you?
I feel so sad for you, your life is wasted
So much is gone, like you erased it
It's such a shame you'll never really know the ones who are just aching to know you
And I'm mad at you because your life is wasted and there's nothing I can do
So is this the life you wanted?
Would you do it all again?
You've run from those who loved you
Searching to numb away the pain
Each day, each passing year
Just seems to disappear
Dark days become dark nights
And I wonder if you ever shed a tear
And where are you?
Your children cry inside
Their aching hearts wondering if you care
Their mothers die inside
Watching them wishing, knowing you'll never be there
But whatever they may wish about
The only one who's missing out is you
I feel so sad for you, your life is wasted
I get so mad about it sometimes I can taste it
It's such a shame you'll never know the love of hearts just aching to love you
You spent your whole life getting wasted
And that's what you chose to do
