• The time I wasted is my biggest regret,
    Spent in places I'll never forget.
    Just sitting and thinking about the things I've done,
    The crying, the laughing, the hurt, and the fun.
    Now it's just me and my hard-driven guilt,
    Behind a wall of emptiness I allowed to be built.
    I'm trapped in my body, just wanting to run,
    Back to my past with laughter and fun,
    But the chase is over and there's no place to run.
    Everything is gone, including my pride,
    Washes away, by the receeding tide.
    Reality suddenly right in my face,
    I'm scared, alone and stuck in this place.
    Now memories of the past flash thru my head,
    And the pain is obvious by the tears I've shed.
    I ask myself why and where I went wrong,
    I guess I was weak, when I should have been strong.
    Living for the drugs and the wings that I've grown,
    My feelings were lost and afraid to be shown.
    As I look at my past, its easy to see,
    The fear that I had, afraid to be me.
    I'd pretend to be rugged, so fast and so cool,
    When actually I was as lost as a blinded fool.
    It's time to change and get on with my life,
    Fulfilling my dreams of the good life.
    What my future will hold, I don't really know,
    But the years I have wasted are starting to show.
    I live just for the day when I'll get a new start,
    And the dreams that I had, still deep in my heart.
    I at least have to try,
    Because I'm heading to death and I don't want to die.
