Lyrics

Cruel Waste of Time

Long lonely nights of waiting for you
Noticing nothing that comes into view
Sleeping all day, nowhere bound
Even the night falls down

As darkness comes it occurs to me
What a cruel waste of time you turned out to be

Can't think of this broken love anymore
Pictures of you that were hard to ignore
Now the pieces settle in place
So many to erase

Truth brings a new day honest and free
What a cruel waste of time you turned out to be

Time only knows how well I'll heal
But won't return the years it steals

Looking back on our lives I finally see
What a cruel waste of time you turned out to be

Lyrics Ricki E. Bellos Music Jim Purtell
