Waste

(album: The Epiphany Guide - 2008)

Not gonna waste, I'm not gonna waste it

I sat down on the stairs just the other day
Thinking 'bout all the things my life is trying to say
What's my purpose, my creed, where's the simplicity
Of all the things I say I believe
Been so hurt in the past, my struggles seem to weigh
Me down into the dust, been feeling out of touch
Realized if my pain is all I'm thinking of
Where will the joy come from?

So I'm not gonna waste another day
I'm not gonna waste another tear
I'm not gonna waste another breath
I'm not gonna waste another word
I'm not gonna waste my time again
I'm not gonna waste my happy end
I'm sorry, heartache
But I'm not gonna waste another moment on you
No no, no

When did I lose that fire, the burn I used to have
Lost my faith, appetite, been living in the bad
My focus has been torn, been running in reverse
I've lost my will to serve

So I'm not gonna waste another day
I'm not gonna waste another tear
I'm not gonna waste another breath
I'm not gonna waste another word
I'm not gonna waste my time again
I'm not gonna waste my happy end
I'm sorry, heartache
But I'm not gonna waste another moment on you

I found myself behind a wall
But it's not gonna block me
I found myself inside a storm
But it's not gonna move me
I found myself in need of You, Lord
In every situation
Oh, I need to be renewed
Yeah, oh, woah
Not gonna waste, I'm not gonna waste it
I'm not gonna waste

So I'm not gonna waste another day
I'm not gonna waste another tear
I'm not gonna waste another breath
I'm not gonna waste another word
I'm not gonna waste my time again
I'm not gonna waste my happy end
I'm sorry, heartache
But I'm not gonna waste it
I'm sorry, heartache
But I'm not gonna waste another moment on you

Not gonna waste, I'm not gonna waste it
I'm not gonna waste it
