Wasted days no more Wasted days pass us by Looking back on a youth so far away A past reckless, careless and bleeding in regret So many wasted days
I can’t live this way anymore Dreaming away promises never to see the light of day A fantasy in the darkness Wet dreams dried by the morning light Milestones never captured on film Only the cinematic landscape in my mind
Burnt out by these wasted days So many loves I pushed aside Better hair, better love, better times Where did it get me Redhead, blonde, brunette, black and blue A rainbow of variety colored these wasted days
These days showered in the bottle Reflecting and arguing with the old many in the mirror Nights filled with numbing memories locking away the real pain
So few days So many plays Repeat Repeat Heartbreak Heartache Wasted days
Another sunrise How many more Heading west to the final sunset
So tired Imprisoned Vindicated Hidden Exposed A winding road to nowhere Isn’t that the masquerade of life A ballroom of illusions Now empty with echoes of wasted days
A torture chamber of ecstasy when we thought forever was so far away Immortal visions dwindling I swore it wouldn’t end An ignorant fool looking back on my wasted days Wasted days no more
