Todd Weisse - Wasted Time Lyrics

There I go, waiting on someone to come and free me from this hole I'm in
And that I worked so hard to see be done
Here I am, stuck inside the confines of the master plan, the one which I am proud to play a part
Twenty years go by, halfway to the middle of my life
And all I hope to do and all I hope to see before I'm through
You come to find that so much time was wasted before you even had a clue
You wonder if what they said to you before your time was up was really true
Now that your time to play has come before you even knew who the players were
And if you wanted to play a game that you would lose
How long have I been waiting here? I want you to tell me, do you think its really true?
How long will I be waiting here? Please tell me, do you think the way I do?
People come and people go, and every once in a while you find someone who you can trust
What's the price of walking away from something real or something fun
And can you even know until the damage is done?
Well, all the time you've wasted not knowing what you know today
Is never coming back to you no matter how
You hope or how you pray
And you know that your wasted time would not be wasted building what you now find out you want
To be doing what you'd like to do is the quickest way to seal your fate
To a life filled with the things you've learned to hate
