As I Lay Dying - Wasted Words lyrics

There are days when sorrow seems never-ending
Like the countless roads upon
Which I've driven
The price of attachment in pursuit of dreams
That I so often can't seem to remember
Yet there are days when
Beauty cannot be contained
It even crawls out from under ordinary things

A foreigner, no place to go
Holding on, making the most
Of what little time I have

All the wasted words I said
In all the cities that I left
The last act of our precious play
Must not close with regret

I will not leave wishing I
Had done things differently

The moments I treasure are seldom the
Ones that I planned for
And if I knew where pain hid
I might still let it go
So when the audience has run
Toward the latest drift
It will be my time to face
The life that I have set

A foreigner in my own home
Holding on, no place to go

All the wasted words I said
In all the cities that I left
The last act of our precious play
Must not close with regret, regret
All the wasted words

Some days the line between peace and pain
Seems more like a blur
But I know with certainty
I can't leave wishing, I cannot leave
I can't leave wishing I'd
Done things differently

All the wasted words I said
In all the cities that I left
The last act of our precious play
Must not close with regret, regret
All the wasted words
