There's a game life plays 
makes you think you're everything they ever said you were 
Like to take some time 
Clear away everything I planned 

R: Was it life I betrayed 
   for the shape that I'm in 
   It's not hard to fail 
   it's not easy to win 
   did I drink too much 
   could I disappear 
   and there's nothing that's left but wasted years 

There's nothing left but wasted years 

If I could change my life 
Be a simple kind of man try to do the best I can 
if I could see the signs 
I'd derail every path I could 
now I'm about to die 
won't you clear away from me 
give me strength to fly away 

R:

There's nothing left but wasted years (3x)

R: (3x)
