JAB - Wasted Lyrics

I wasted a lot of time
Trying to talk about it
I played my cards all wrong

I left my crutch far behind
Learned to walk without it
My legs never felt so strong

You wasted the quiet times
With grueling conversations
Now the wheels of the train won't stop

You mixed your doubts in with mine
Now your life's narration
Hints the other shoe's bound to drop

Wasted can't see far in front of me
Finding my way to the floor
Wasting the ropes that drop down to me
I feel the sudden urge to climb

I wasted what I was given
Cuz once I held
It started to hold me back

Off the beaten path I was driven
And once I lost it
The line was nothin' but slack

You wasted situations
Ignored neon signs
That would've lead you back to the track

You tested out the foundation
And you just couldn't rest
Until you found a crack

Running away from the sun
And I've got a little piece of mind
Keeping the light off the one
Thing in this world, I can call mine

I wasted my second chances
Cuz I've always heard that you should
Get things right the first time

But all your sideways glances
To that road behind us
Made me really want to change my mind

You wasted a part of me
Can't put my finger on it
But I can feel the empty gap

The next part's too dark to see
Behind a thousand curtains
Countless layers left to unwrap
