Time Will Tell

I gave up my hopes 
I gave up my dreams, 
I gave up my life 
or at least so it seems; 
For I chose a life 
of crime and sin, 
And now with bars 
I am held within. 
I gave up the woman 
I loved oh so much, 
Never to feel 
her loves tender touch. 
I gave up my scooter 
and freedom to ride, 
Oh the pain I've felt 
oh the river I've cried! 
So for now I sit lonely 
locked in a cell, 
Will I make it this time? 
Only time will tell
