There's a game life plays
Makes you think you're everything they ever said you were
Like to take some time
Clear away everything I've planned

Was it life I've betrayed
For the shape that I'm in
It's not hard to fail
It's not easy to win
Did I drink too much
Could I disappear
And there's nothing that's left but wasted tears

There's nothing left but wasted years

If I could change my life
Be a simple kind of man try to do the best I can
If I could take the sides
I'd derail every path I could
I'm about to die
Won't you clear away from me give me strength to fly away

Was it life I've betrayed
For the shape that I'm in
It's not hard to fail
It's not easy to win
Did I drink too much
Could I disappear
And there's nothing that's left but wasted tears

There's nothing left but wasted years
There's nothing left but wasted years
There's nothing left but wasted years

Was it life I've betrayed
For the shape that I'm in
It's not hard to fail
It's not easy to win
Did I drink too much
Could I disappear
And there's nothing that's left but wasted tears

Was it life I've betrayed
For the shape that I'm in
It's not hard to fail
It's not easy to win
Did I drink too much
Could I disappear
And there's nothing that's left but wasted tears

Was it life I've betrayed
For the shape that I'm in
It's not hard to fail
It's not easy to win
Did I drink too much
Could I disappear
And there's nothing that's left but wasted tears

    this is cold's new single. or atleast i think. it was peformed on jay leno. anyways, i think this is about when a relationship has had years put in and results in nothing. like friendships and stuff like that.

    my fav part is when he says "I'm about to die won't you clear away from me give me strength to fly away "

    this song is really goood and the album is awesome.
