Wasted time

I've reached the point now where i'm not proud of
too many lovers that i've never loved
and i've never questioned those empty days
until i met the woman that made me wanna say
chorus
i think about all the time i've wasted i could've spent with you
and all the lies i've fallen for while searching for the truth
there are turns i should've taken but now i'll never find
just like that wasted time
i've got a boy now, he's about half grown
his momma raised him 'cause dad was always gone
well i was just so busy trying to make him proud
the next time i see him i'm gonna tell him now
repeat chorus
tonight i'll wait for a quiet time
close my eyes and open up my mind
bow my head down and say a little prayer
and hope it's not too late for me to tell the man upstairs
repeat chorus
