V: So I lost the car, I lost the house, 

I lost the job, and I lost the keys

I lost a good friend, and who I was then, 

And being sure of anything



Ch: Nothing is ever wasted

Not the sweet or bitter fruit I've tasted

Nothing is ever wasted



V:  blew a kiss, to Icarus, 

On brilliant wax wings 

We fell to the ground

So I climbed a hill

I'm standing there still, 

Arms open wide not looking down



Ch: Nothing is ever wasted

Not the sweet or bitter fruit I've tasted

Nothing is ever wasted



V: I've lost pre conceptions, sense of direction,

I lost a child and I lost my doubt

I lost my mother and at one time or another 

We strip it all down and toss it all out



Ch: Nothing is ever wasted

Not the sweet or bitter fruit I've tasted

Nothing is ever wasted



V: All things will change, there's no one to blame 

Doesn't it feel like it is somehow sacred, 

And I am aware, of what a person can bear 

When there is a reason for them to face it.



 Ch: Nothing is ever wasted

Not the sweet or bitter fruit I've tasted

Nothing is ever wasted
