Wasted Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hearts can turn away
And the roots of bitterness can carry the day
And I was done
It was over
I'd become
Just another heart without a home
And I was angry that god had left me alone
Since I had
No hope of living
I began
And started giving
My life, my shame
I gave it all to him
My heart, my strife
Can you change this wasted life?
Time
Took time away
But he was reaching when I was so far away
Through many years
Through death's valley
He knew my tears
I believe he allowed me
My life, my sin
Oh, I gave all to him
My heart, my strife
Can you change this wasted life?
My life, my shame
Oh, I gave it all to him
My heart, my strife
Can you change this wasted life?
My love, my shame
Oh, I gave him all my pain
The truth inside
Can you change this wasted life?
My life, my shame
I gave it all to him
With tears in my eyes
Can you change this wasted life?
