Wasted Years

We were close to being great

When each other was all we ate

We could not escape our fate

A Trojan Horse at our gates

We could have bested all our fears

Instead we toiled through wasted years

Warning sirens too loud to hear

So we fell victim to wasted years

We were near inseparable

The ground beneath us unstable

Collapsing in on our fable

Showing us we were miserable

We could have bested all our fears

Instead we toiled through wasted years

Warning sirens too loud to hear

So we fell victim to wasted years

The lies we told ourselves

They rang out like wedding bells

Letting us know we were bound to fail

And our love was beyond the pale

We could have bested all our fears

Instead we toiled through wasted years

Warning sirens too loud to hear

So we fell victim to wasted years

Wasted

Wasted

Wasted Years
