Skid Row Lyrics
"Wasted Time"

You and I together in our lives
Sacred ties will 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
Tough talking youth naivete

You said you'd never let me down
'Cause the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation

And is it all just wasted time?
Do anything you asked me blind
Can you look at yourself for you?
Can you live with yourself for you?
If you just believe in me

Paranoid delusions, they haunt you
Where's my friend I used to know?
He's all alone,
He's burried 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?

I hear you scream in agony
And the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation

And is it all just wasted time?
Do anything you asked me blind
Can you look at yourself for you?
Can you live with yourself for you?
If you just believe in me

And is it all just wasted time?
Move mountains if you want me blind
Can you look at yourself for you?
Can you live with yourself for you?
If you just believe in me

And you will never see a day
I'll never break your heart
You'll see the sky fall down before
It ever gets that far
I'll show you heaven every second
That you'd never let me down
But the horse stampedes it rages
In the name of desperation!
No, no, no, no, no

(Solo)

And is it all just wasted time?
Move mountains if you want me blind
Can you look that with all yourself?
Can you live with all yourself?
If you just believe in me

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 our memory...

Just wasted time
Do anything you asked me blind
Can you look that with all yourself?
Can you live with all yourself?
If you just believe in me

And is it all just wasted time?
Move mountains if you want me blind
Can you look that with all yourself?
Can you live with all yourself?
If you just believe in me
And is it all just wasted time?...
