Текст песни All the Wasted Time (from "Parade") - Brent Carver and Carolee Carmello

I will never understand
What I did to deserve you,
Or how to be the man
That I'm supposed to be.
I will never understand
If I live a thousand lifetimes
Why you did the things you did for me.
Just look at you -
How could I not be in love with you?
What kind of fool could have taken you
For granted for so long?
All the wasted time,
All the million hours,
Pushing you away,
Building up my walls;
All the days gone by
To glare, to pout, to push you out,
And I never knew anything at all
I never knew anything at all.

I will never understand
How all the world misjudged you
When I have always known
How lucky I must be.
I will never understand
How I kept from going crazy
Just waiting there till you came home to me.
Now look at me
Now that you're finally here with me -
Now that I know I was right to wait
And everyone else was so wrong
For so long
All the wasted time

All the wasted time

All the million hours.
Years on top of years
Still too proud to crawl -
All the days gone by
To feel that I don't satisfy
And I never knew anything at all
I never knew anything at all

All the wasted time

All the wasted time

All the million hours.

Leaves too high to touch,
Roots too strong to fall.
All the days gone by
To never show I loved you so
And I never knew anything at all.

I never knew anything
At all
