There's a game life plays
Makes you think you're everything they ever said you were
I'd like to take some time
Clear away everything I've planned

Was it life I betrayed?
For the shape that I'm in
It's not hard to fail
It's not easy to win
Did I drink too much?
Could I disappear?
And there's nothing that's left but wasted years
There's nothing left but wasted years
There's nothing left but wasted years

If I could change my life
Be a simple kind of man
Try to do the best I can
If I could take the signs
I'd derail every path I could
An I'm about to die
Won't you clear away from me?
Give me strength to fly away?

Was it life I betrayed?
For the shape that I'm in
It's not hard to fail
It's not easy to win
Did I drink too much?
Could I disappear?
And there's nothing that's left but wasted tears
There's nothing left but wasted years
There's nothing left but wasted years
There's nothing left but wasted years

Was it life I betrayed?
For the shape that I'm in
It's not hard to fail
It's not easy to win
Did I drink too much?
Could I disappear?
And there's nothing that's left but wasted tears

Was it life I betrayed?
There's nothing left but wasted years
For the shape that I'm in
There's nothing left but wasted years
Did I drink too much?
There's nothing left but wasted years
All those wasted years
There's nothing left but wasted years

Was it life I betrayed?
For the shape that I'm in
It's not hard to fail
It's not easy to win
