You shared your dreams with someone who
Could not make them come true.
You gave your life to her and then
There’s nothing left for you.
You’ve spent your life in search of love
But pain is all you found,
And now that she is gone it seems
Your hopes have run aground.
You tried in vain to save a love
And yet it couldn’t last.
You feel that you have wasted time.
Your life went by too fast.
Tonight will bring another dream
And that will bring you tears
As you recall those memories
And all the wasted years.
The future doesn’t look so bright.
You face an uphill climb,
And you can’t help but wonder if
It might be wasted time.
