The time that I´ve wasted is my biggest regret
   Spent in these places I will never forget.
Just sitting and thinking about the things that I´ve done
   The crying, the laughing, the hurt and the fun.

Now it´s just me and my hard driven guilt
   Behind a wall of emptiness I allowed to be built.
I´m trapped in my body, just wanting to run
   Back to my youth with its laughter and fun.

But the chase is over and there´s no place to hide
   Everything is gone, including my pride.
With reality suddenly right in my face
   I´m scared, alone and stuck in this place.

Now memories of the past flash through my head
   And the pain is obvious by the tears that I shed.
I ask myself why and where I went wrong
   I guess I was weak when I had to be strong.

Living for the drugs and the wings I had grown
   My feelings were lost, afraid to be shown.
As I look at my past it´s so easy to see
   The fear that I had, afraid to be me.

I´d pretend to be rugged, so fast and so cool
   When actually lost like a blinded old fool.
I´m getting too old for this tiresome game
   Of acting real hard with no sense of shame.

It´s time that I change and get on with my life
   Fulfilling my dreams for a family and wife.
What my future will hold I really don´t know
   But the years that I´ve wasted are starting to show.

I just live for the day when I´ll get a new start
   nd the dreams I still hold deep in my heart.
I hope I can make it, I at least have to try
   Because I´m heading toward death, and I don´t want to die.
