Been wastin' too much time
Doin' things that just ain't mine
Don't know what I been losin'
But I sure ain't been choosin'
Always a hand to the face so I lay down low
I lost the sense of what I could show
People say, chin up, fight the fight
All I ever got comin' was a swift right
Now pushin' up in the years
I realize how many harbour the same fears
Of steppin' forward, no matter what
Despite the swings, the kicks, the cuts
Been wastin' too much time
Doin' things that just ain't mine
Don't know what I been losin'
But I sure ain't been choosin'
Knowin' about all of those others
Behind dark windows bolted shutters
Brings it all back to where I go bust
Nothing comes between my lack of trust
Left with a banged up state of mind
Days, months, years of wounded pride
How bittersweet, my legacy
Been wastin' too much time
Doin' things that just ain't mine
Don't know what I been losin'
But I sure ain't been choosin'
