Wasted life
My dad, he was an engineer
My mom didn't have a career1
It was a simple, tranquil life2
And back then, I was a nice kid3
But when, on that day, I met you
And oh, so far gone is that day
I just wanted to live my life4
But I lost it all for nothing 5
All those days I spent loving you
Are nothing but the prison walls
That took eighteen years of my life
In exchange for barely nothing6
I played love, heads or tails
And the others came out winners7
My mom is old, my dad is dead
Never did you really exist8
No more money, no more friends9
Even lost my guitar gambling10
Only rotten luck following me11
And the two of us like lovers12
I spent all my life in a train
Following the sun's direction13
But restlessly does the rain fall
Boringly alike are my days14
