Wasted Talent

I knew fate would call my line
It was only a matter of time, my dear
Oh, and just like the fortune told me
I'll make amends

I followed suit, call it a spade
Such a talent, such a waste, who knew?
Oh, and just like the fortune told me
I'll make amends

I wish I could get better
But we knew who I'd become

I'm reaching out
To catch my breath
Don't lose hope
On me now
I know one day
I'll learn to call

How many lives must I live until it's over?

Why do I have to change for you?
I put everything in its right place, right place
Oh, and just like the fortune told me
I made amends

What happened to the boy I knew
The one that danced in the sky?

I'm reaching out
To catch my breath
Don't lose hope
On me now
I know one day
I'll learn to call

How many lives must I live until it's over?
