How Many Seconds a Day I Spent Wasted on You

I woke up every day for 365 days a year thinking about you,
wondered about you and wondered who you were before –
but we were together for two years –
That's a total of 730 days that I constantly thought about you,
and some of those days were happy tears.
And as for the other, well,
they were not,
yet we fought and this is what we've got.
I have gotten our hearts broken because of your selfish ways.

Every day contains a total number of 24 hours in a given day,
and every hour is 60 minutes that I spent wasted on you.
From when the sun comes up to when the sun goes down,
that's a total of 3,600 seconds in an hour –
and I promise you this,
I won't be here when you come back around.

What I want to know is how many seconds in 730 days,
that I spent wasted on you –
and wondering who you were before?
