Wasted Hours - Ayla Nereo

This is a song for all the wasted hours

Spent pining after someone

And all the wasted flowers

You wanted just to give them out

And all the wasted words

Trying to prove they were good for you

It’s not wasted breath

Cause all those wasted hours

Were trying to show you something more

About those wasted flowers

To see just what you’re giving for

And all the wasted words

Were heard and spoken

Simply to be your truth

Simply to be heard and spoken

Simply to be your truth

Simply to be heard and spoken by you

And what is my truth

And what do I want to say

And what is my meaning

And what is my way

Cause it feels so empty sometimes

Feels like I need another to fill this hole inside

And I’m reaching, and searching, and seeking

And I’m wanting, and asking, and needing

And I’m reaching, and searching, and seeking

And I’m wanting, and asking, and needing

Cause it feels so empty sometimes

Feels like I need another to fill this hole inside

And I’m reaching, and searching, and seeking

And I’m wanting, and asking, and needing

And maybe baby you can go down deep

(Where is that hole)

Maybe baby you can go in deeper

(What does it sound like)

Maybe baby you can find what you seek

(Into the darkness)

Maybe baby you will find much more

(Listening to silence)

And I do not want to

Give anything less than love

And I do not want to

Settle for anything less than your whole heart

And I do not want to

Give anything less than love

And I do not want you

To settle for anything less than my whole heart

It’s holy

Nothing excluded

Nothing outside

There are no exceptions to what is defined/divine

And it’s not wasted hours

Spent being alone just with yourself

And no wasted flowers

Given just for giving out

And no wasted words

Heard and spoken

Simply to be your truth

Simply to be heard and spoken

It’s not wasted breath

And it’s not wasted hours

Trying to understand why you love someone

And how you want to be loved

Trying to get to know yourself

So you can love yourself that much
