Wasted times

(Verse 1)

Empty rooms and silent nights, echo with the ghosts of fights

Years I gave, like pearls to swine, now all I have are these tear-stained lines

I built you up, brick by slow brick, while my own dreams faded quick

(Chorus)

Oh, the time I wasted, youth I spent, on someone who was heaven-sent

But turned out cruel, a love untrue, now all that's left is me and you

Time, rewind, a chance to see, the success that could've been for me

(Verse 2 - Rap)

Yo, lemme drop some truth, straight from the heart's booth

Years invested, thought we were bonded, turns out it was just a sleuth

Chasing shadows, blind and lost, paying love's ultimate cost

Now I'm picking up pieces, dodging the greases, gotta break free from these leashes

Coulda been a scholar, a boss, a star, now I'm just nursing wounds and scars

But the future's unwritten, the past is gone, time to pen a new dawn.

(Verse 3)

Mirrors show a face worn thin, a life on pause, where do I begin?

The path I chose, now overgrown, a seed of doubt I've always known

If I could whisper in my ear, "Don't give your all, hold something dear."

(Chorus)

Oh, the time I wasted, youth I spent, on someone who was heaven-sent

But turned out cruel, a love untrue, now all that's left is me and you

Time, rewind, a chance to see, the success that could've been for me
