A song about regret for time that can't be taken back. The past doesn't change, but grace doesn't count the lost years against us. The debt is paid, there's still a road ahead, and the wasted years don't have to waste the rest of your life.
Wasted Years lyrics
I spent my strength on empty nights, Chased the moment, missed the life. Promises I said I’d keep, Now they haunt the hours I lose in sleep. The past don’t bend, it never fades, But truth can carve a brand new day. Wasted years, they haunt my mind, All the things I left behind. But grace won’t count the time I’ve lost, It paid the debt, it bore the cost. I see the faces I should’ve loved, I hear the silence I’m guilty of. But mercy whispers through my shame, “There’s still a road, there’s still a name.” I can’t reclaim the time I’ve burned, But I can live the lessons learned. Every scar, a sacred mark, That points me home when nights get dark. Wasted years, they haunt my mind, All the things I left behind. But grace rewrites the lines I crossed, It paid the debt, it bore the cost. The wasted years don’t waste me now.
