Cold - Wasted Years Lyrics






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 planned

[Chorus]
Was it life I 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 years

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 see the signs
I'd derail every path I could
now I'm about to die
won't you clear away from me
give me strength to fly away

[Chorus]

There's nothing left but wasted years [x3]

[Chorus x3]

    “Was it life i betrayed” yeah that speaks volumes. Reminds me of this quote from an especially dead guy “ it isnt about the years in your life but the life in your years”.

    No Alan real world doesn't revolve around you only do grow up and stop whining like a little kid and I am your supposed partner wasted three years or more on all this and you still haven't been able to get in touch with me and it's a shame on your part because you don't need me as you used it all I had

    You know when I hear this, all I can think of is my childhood, I'm 31 almost 32 years old and everyday I wish I could only go back and redo my childhood, I don't even like talking about this and especially I don't tell many ppl about my childhood except for the ppl that already knows it, but I didn't get to go out and have fun and be a regular kid like these kids today do, when I was probably about 10 year's old my mom met this guy, I say guy bcus he was no man, bcos a man wouldn't do ppl like this and would have respect, but anyways my mom met him and he ended up getting my mom hooked on really bad drugs like oxys, cocaine, xanaxs you name it, and she changed and was always with him and no longer cared about me, even got so bad my own mother started stealing my child support checks, bcos I don't have a dad, and I've never in 31 year's seen my dad, but I don't care bcus I know who my real dad is and that's the good Lord, and anyways my mom also started stealing off my grandparents money, everything we had, bcos I lived with my grandma and papaw, there who raised me to be the person I am, if not for them idk what I would have done or if I'd even be alive writing this msg right now for everyone to read, but it's just like I lost my mother, and it's like she was dead to me even tho she was alive, bcus she wasn't who I once looked up to, and her boyfriend also would threaten to beat me up and everything even tho I was 10 year's old, shows you how pathetic and evil he was, and a coward, only picking on a child, and he always beat my Mom an crazy she still bcos of the dope stayed with the piece of trash, and picked him over me, I just couldn't understand that, and this went on for years, until I was about 16-17, and I developed depression, anxiety, and I stopped doing all the things i used to love doing, bcus I was always dealing with that, and I just locked myself inside my room all day and night just staring at the 4 walls, it's like I was a prisoner of my own self, and even now that I'm 31 and I can actually say my moms finally off drugs now, but still we don't have the relationship we should have, bcus in my heart I guess I can't fully forgive an forget what she did to me, when at 10 year's old I needed her the most and she was my best friend, but at least she's trying now I'll give her that, and she's not with that prick anymore, she's actually with a pretty good man, but I just Still remember that and it just seems it's always getting in the way, and I can't express myself to her bcus I'm just so used to her once not caring about me, and I just pray if anyone else ever has go thru that, to just always remember who you are and don't cut your life short bcus of what someone else does, that's what I hate most that I quit caring about everything and couldn't enjoy the thing's I loved, and anyone going thru that don't do what I did and keep it locked inside, instead talk to someone about it, and try to help yourself get thru it, I thought keeping to myself was best way solve that, but I was very wrong, but I couldn't have known I was so young, but anyways sorry for writing so long, and I just wanted tell anyone reading this that if you have similar situations like that, don't think your alone, bcos your not, and you never will be, you always have God and Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ loves you so much even enough he died for you and me, and Jesus arms are always open welcoming you, all you have to do is give in and let Jesus Christ into your heart and soul and I promise you that you can do anythin, and make it thru anything in this world with Christ, love y'all God bless

    I could've been somebody, I'm nobody and I'm trying

  29. A.... J....

    Damn this deep. I feel this. I'm 32 with nothing to show. Low wage warehouse job and loving in South Florida doesn't make matters easier. I'm trying to find a outlet but the more i try the more it just becomes wasted years

  30. o.... ....

    I still listening to this song 🎶

  31. D.... V....

    The life doesn't play any games. We all know life is unfair. Don't be a pussy and cry about it. You're gonna achieve nothing by that.
    You have been born. Claim your fucking existence on this planet. Don't do what all the others are doing. Work, rise.
    Currently, I have people to prove wrong. I have people whom I wanna make feel regret for doing wrong. And I will rise. I don't wanna lie in bed when I'm 60 and wonder what I could do if instead of wasting life, I lived it!

  32. S.... L....

    I just wander... through youtube... for find more some good music to inspire my life. and now here i find this song. i think i'll get better when i take a bus, get subway or walking street thanks to this mind-blowing song. with skidrow's wasted time, this soing is really awesome.. thanks for uploader.

  33. C.... H....

    This song is incredible, makes you think about what you have done in your life and makes you think about those moments you have wasted that you could have been make you better. A simple song that really hits you in the feels.

    C.... H....

    And yes I'm still feeling this in 2019.

  34. D.... ....

    I still love Cold 03/23/19

    2018 still one of the best bands out there....i wouldn't got thur my teens without em... I'm 32 now....give me strength to fly away......... love u scooter.....

  58. A.... ....

    I will not repeat the same year 90 times and call it a lifetime. No it's not easy but I will not settle, I will not kneel to life. I may die, take my own life, but I will not let life put me in a box to live in. This is MY LIFE, this is MY STORY, I will push back against the darkness as long as I am able. I've wasted years, I've lost loves, I've broken my families hopes but I will push forward until it is impossible take the next step. My life, my choices, my freedom end it whenever I choose.

  59. c.... ....

    It hurts to hear a song that you once heard two people listen to and talk about, then reality hits...now only one of those sons are left to carry on...choices made, choices. Now tears.

    c.... ....

    your son killed himself? I am sorry i hope you are doing better these days

  63. S.... G....

    Music with a meaning!!

  64. B.... E....

    Disappear not "dissapear"

  65. h.... ....

    This song hits home with me every day but I don’t drink,etc.I’ve lived with abuse physically and verbally for 42 years of my life,every single day but a month(which was the only time I met a ‘good guy’ who chose dr*gs over me,which was why I ended it with him..back in 2006)..since then I live every day slowly breaking apart, dying inside, (NOT wanting pity or attention)..just this song always gets me..I feel like I’ve lost so much of my life to abuse with my parents, my ex husband, n a few other guys who said they ‘cared about me & loved me’ when time after time I’m shown my worth to them all is NOTHING..I’m just this n that to them, a piece of property to ‘own’ when I am more than that..I have a “heart”,I feel..I have needs, I want respect, I want to be appreciated in life..but every day is a struggle with me for the abuse in my life. Abuse is not something to be taken lightly or to be laughed at or made fun of..it’s serious..even if just verbal abuse, it’s something no one deserves..as I wish my life upon no one. It’s just like a knife to the heart every time I was choked by my abusive ex for 16 1/2 years..and for all the times my parents call me a b*tch..or say I’m nothing..that I should “Shut up” rather than “Defend myself, and want respect let alone demand it”. The things you deal with every day just to make “someone else happy” is no way to live life..I know first hand..I’m always “hurting inside, just dying a little more every day”. Please respect my words and life.I may be a stranger but i feel and have a heart. I love you Cold. Thank you to “wasted years” and so many of Cold’s song..like “happens all the time, a different kind of pain, stupid girl, etc”. Lyrics for a hurting soul and heart like mine when you have no out nor anyone to be there by your side saying I’m here..I get it..you’re not me a bad person..you’re just wanting to be accepted for simply who you are as a person

  66. X.... R....

    The feels are strong with this one they are

  67. D.... S....

I’m 37 n it’s been since I was 15 I got wasted years it seems from doing so much stupid shit caz I just don’t know.... why.... why the fuck don’t I know... I’m tired of answering to the bottle, drug or anything... sigh... I hate being a candy ass fighting myself, everybody does but I see the answer, aware of it, just don’t know it and do it...

    M.... J....

    Melissa Jerden I graduated in 97 too, floated around through life, jobs etc until last year when I started my own business. It's gone good so far, never give up. There are a lot of our generation that have ended up somewhere far from where we thought we would be at this point. I never thought I would even live this long when I was 18. Good luck in life.

  85. D.... J....

  91. A.... J....

    " theres nothing left but wasted years" was originally " it wasnt supposed to happen here" which was good as well for chorus.
