Wasted Time Lyrics By Skid Row

    you and i together in our lives
    sacred ties would never fray
    then why can i let myself tell lies
    and watch you die every day
    i think back to the times
    when dreams were what mattered
    toughtalking youth naivete

    pre
    you said you’d never let me down
    but the horse stampedes and rages
    in the name of desperation

    is it all just wasted time
    can you look at yourself
    when you think of what you left behind
    is it all just wasted time
    can you live with yourself
    when you think of what you’ve left behind

    paranoid delusions they haunt you
    where’s my friend i used to know
    he’s all alone he’s buried deep within a
    carcass searching for a soul
    can you feel me inside your heart as it’s bleeding
    why can’t you believe you can be loved

    pre
    i hear your scream in agony
    and the horse stampedes and rages
    in the name of desperation

    is it all just wasted time
    can you look at yourself
    when you think of what you left behind
    is it all just wasted time
    can you live with yourself
    when you think of what you’ve left behind

    pre
    oh you said you’d never let me down
    but the horse stampedes and rages
    in the name of desperation

    is it all just wasted time
    can you look at yourself
    when you think of what you left behind
    is it all just wasted time
    can you live with yourself
    when you think of what you’ve left behind

    the sun will rise again
    the earth will turn to sand
    creation’s colors seem to fade to grey
    and you’ll see the sickly hands of time
    will write your final rhyme
    and end your memory yeah

    i never thought you’d let it get this far boy
    i never thought i never thought you’d let it get this far boy oh no
    i never thought i never thought you’d let it get this far boy no
    i never thought you’d let it get this far boy
