All The Wasted Years

I hear your voice echo in my head
Over and over, the last words you said
You said that we're better off this way
Your mind was made up, there was nothing to say

Still I begged you to stay and I clung to your pack
But you walked out the door and you didn't look back
You got into your car and drove off to the night
I was left here with nothing and nothing was right

So I fell to the floor
And I cried in the dark
I wrote in my journal
I poured out my heart
One day I hope to look back
And read this without tears
But right now, I can't help but cry
For all the wasted years

They say that time heals all wounds
And I just hope they're right
Because I don't want to carry this pain
For the rest of my life
I just wish that I knew when
This pain would finally leave
That's when you will lose the power
That you have over me

I'll wait for that day to arrive
And I won't be ashamed to lay down and cry
I won't be afraid to write down these words
And I won't be ashamed to admit that it hurts
Although right now, I do not know when
I know that in time, these tears will end
But today, I can't hold back the tears in my eyes
So until that healing day arrives

I'll fall to the floor
I'll cry in the dark
I'll write everything in this journal
I'll keep pouring out my heart
Because one day I hope to look back
And be able to read this without tears
But right now, I can't help but cry
For all the wasted years

All those times you told me that you loved me
Don't mean anything now
Just a sad reminder of what used to be

I'm falling to the floor
I'm crying in the dark
I'm writing in this journal
I'm pouring out my heart
I hope that one day I can look back
And read this without tears
But right now, I can't help but cry
For all the wasted years
For all the wasted years
For all the wasted years
