Wasteful Ways - Nightshade

I had it all

Only thinking, I would have more

Letting go of the knot

This chain of desire

I wanted for so long

Waited for as I grew

All the nights spent with a grasp

Only to watch you wash away

Wishing for something like you

As the sky goes from night to day

Remembering if I had made the right choice

Only self-doubt consumes this body of mine

Fires burn within like a captured moment in time

If the past played in a different way

Who knows the man I would be today

Where did I go

I left this bond

Of the only person that I grew to know

I’m wishing for a new start

Watching you waste away had only left me torn apart

I wanted more

Skies are turning gray

I thought I moved on and started better days

Thought the reasons where good enough

Left with it all but you astray

Knowing nothing that was coming my way

It seems my ideas have got the best of me

Leaving me cold and lonely

This mind flustered and torn

Between the world and the world I loved

My head held tall when my back turned away from you

I realize what I did wrong

Wondering now if I ever knew what I had

The action was easy to accept at first

I would take it like the ocean does the sky

The distance can’t keep me apart

The memories bring me right back to the fucking start

TO THE FUCKING START

I thought I would have more

Then watching you wash away

I HAD IT ALL
