Life's Wasted Times

[Instrumental] Female Vocalist: (Soft and ethereal, almost a whisper) "Life's Wasted Times... shadows grow, whispers flow....Time’s a cruel teacher, and I’m the one that’s slow," [Verse 1] Woke up again, the sun’s shining bright, But all I feel is the weight of the night, Dreams in my pocket turn to ash in my hands, Walking through shadows, lost in these plans. [Pre-Chorus] Faces around me, they’re laughing and free, But I’m stuck in my head, can’t break free, Trying to rise but I’m tangled in chains, Each moment that slips, only echoes my pain. [Chorus] Oh, I’m drifting in a sea of regret, Counting the chances that I didn’t get, Life wasted away, like a candle unburned, Searching for purpose, but it’s never returned. Feeling so small in this world of confetti, Whispers of worthlessness, heavy and petty, Oh, life wasted, where do I turn, When the fire’s gone out, and the hope’s never learned? [Verse 2] Staring at the clock, the hands move in slow, Time’s a cruel teacher, and I’m the one that’s slow, Memories haunt me like ghosts in the dark, Each moment a flicker, each flicker a spark. [Pre-Chorus] Chasing the echoes of dreams I once knew, But every step forward feels like two steps askew, Desires grow distant, like stars far away, I’m losing the fight; it’s a game I won’t play. [Chorus] Oh, I’m drifting in a sea of regret, Counting the chances that I didn’t get, Life wasted away, like a candle unburned, Searching for purpose, but it’s never returned. Feeling so small in this world of confetti, Whispers of worthlessness, heavy and petty, Oh, life wasted, where do I turn, When the fire’s gone out, and the hope’s never learned? [Bridge] But maybe there’s light in the cracks of the dark, A flicker of hope, a voice with a spark, If I gather the pieces, piece them in time, Could a heart once broken learn how to climb? [Chorus] Oh, I’m drifting in a sea of regret, But I’m learning to rise from the pain and the debt, Life’s more than shadows, it’s hope in the rain, Finding the strength in the struggle and strain. Though I’ve felt small in this world of confetti, There’s a whisper of worth that’s growing steady, Oh, life wasted, it’s not just a frown, It’s a journey of healing, I can turn it around. [Outro] So here’s to the moments, the battles I fight, A heart that’s learning to find its own light, Life once wasted can flourish and grow, In the shadows of doubt, I’m ready to glow. [Fadeout] [End]
