Waisted years

Five years gone, I gave it all

Chased your shadow down every hall

You lied, you cheated, burned it slow

Left me hanging, I needed you most

Four kids lost, dreams torn apart

High on your vices, poison in your heart

Every door closed, kicked us out

I’m still standing, filled with doubt

Was it love or just a game?

I’m tired of feeling this shame

I gave my all, got nothing back

You left me broken on your track

Wasted years, yeah, all on you (ooh-ooh)

You sold your time for something I never knew (ooh-ooh)

Wasted love, thrown away (yeah, yeah)

I’m still breathing, but I can’t stay

High and drunk, chasing lows (ooh-ooh)

While I built us up, you let it go (ooh-ooh)

Wasted years, wasted tears

I’m done waiting, done with fears

*(Melodic ad-libs: “ooh-ooh… still here… still here…”)

Every promise, a hollow lie

Every hug, a silent goodbye

You danced with demons below my line

Took our lives, blurred the signs

I lost myself trying to hold on

But the weight of you kept dragging me wrong

I gave you life, you gave me pain

Now I’m picking pieces from the rain

Was it love or just a game?

I’m tired of feeling this shame

I gave my all, got nothing back

You left me broken on your track

Wasted years, yeah, all on you (ooh-ooh)

You sold your time for something I never knew (ooh-ooh)

Wasted love, thrown away (yeah, yeah)

I’m still breathing, but I can’t stay

High and drunk, chasing lows (ooh-ooh)

While I built us up, you let it go (ooh-ooh)

Wasted years, wasted tears

I’m done waiting, done with fears

Late nights, I be questioning your moves

Reading every lie that you used

You sold your soul to your high and lows

While I was building, I was losing control

I see the switch when your mood gets heavy

From “don’t leave” straight to “don’t get ready”

I gave my all, you gave me nothing steady

Now I’m vibing solo, hands on the levy

Wasted love, wasted pain, wasted trust

You burned it all, left me in dust

But I’m still here, yeah, still here

I survive, I rise, I don’t fear

I carried four hearts on my back

While you wandered, chasing crack

I lost everything in your tide

You let the world decide

I’m done running, done falling

I’m done with your calling

The pain won’t kill me, I’ll survive

I’m still here, I’m alive

*(Mini vocal riff: “I’m still here… still here…”)

Wasted years, yeah, all on you (ooh-ooh)

You sold your time for something I never knew (ooh-ooh)

Wasted love, thrown away (yeah, yeah)

I’m still breathing, but I can’t stay

High and drunk, chasing lows (ooh-ooh)

While I built us up, you let it go (ooh-ooh)

Wasted years, wasted tears

I’m done waiting, done with fears

*(Stacked vocals, airy ad-libs, melodic tag “ooh-ooh… still here…”)

No more lie
