I've reached the point now where I'm not proud
Of too many lovers that I've never loved
And I've never questioned those empty days
Until I met the woman that made me wanna say
I think about all the time I've wasted, I could've spent with you
And all the lies I've fallen for, while searching for the truth
There are turns I should've taken but now I'll never find
Just like that wasted time
I've got a boy now, he's about half grown
His momma raised him 'cause dad was always gone
Well, I was just so busy trying to make him proud
The next time I see him, I'm gonna tell him now
I think about all the time I've wasted, I could've spent with you
And all the lies I've fallen for, while searching for the truth
There are turns I should've taken but now I'll never find
Just like that wasted time
Tonight, I'll wait for a quiet time
Close my eyes and open up my mind
Bow my head down and say a little prayer
And hope it's not too late for me to tell the man upstairs
I think about all the time I've wasted, I could've spent with you
And all the lies I've fallen for, while searching for the truth
There are turns I should've taken but now I'll never find
Just like that wasted time, just like that wasted time
