Wasted YearsWasted YearsVerse 13am haunted by the pain againHating waiting, body achingA life of wasted years

Verse 2Now I know, staring up at the night skyDesperation in this generationNo more tears to cry

BridgeI feel your soft embrace tonightHold me close, keep me warmYour pulling me to you feels rightTake it slow, dragon flows

ChorusTime keeps standing still, stop me fallingAngels watching over, holding my hand as I dieNow the feeling fades awayMemories stolen help me find my way backDiscover myself that I hide

Verse 3Daylight came, lift my spirits chance to changeA realisation, no condemnationNo more wasted years.

BridgeI feel the hope and strengths insightSay goodbye, break the tieYou are the past my futures brightTime to grow; now I know

ChorusShine the light reveal, now I’m callingAngels watching over keeping me safe rectifyNow the moments here to stayEyes wide open help me find my way backDiscover myself be my guide
