Tell me this wasn’t all just wasted time ( Alt Version )

Sitting here in the early morning.

I Can’t get the words out of my head.

“ The Autumn leaves have got you thinking

About the first time that you fell”

I don’t know how to describe the pain inside

When I hear that line and think of you.

The empty spaces in conversations

grow longer.

The awkward moments of silence looking for something to say.

Distance in every word and every line.

Tell me this wasn’t all just wasted time.

In the morning sun, I feel the new days warmth.

It’s empty and hollow, because you haven’t been here For so long.

A shimmer in the light reminds me of that line.

I hear that line and think of you.

The awkward spaces in conversations

grow longer.

The long moments of silence looking for something to say.

Distance in every word and every line.

Tell me this wasn’t all just wasted time.
