Wasted Love
Benzel & Stevie Neale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I′m a ghost, someone they froze
Tell me you'll think of me again
I am a space, a distorted face
You have replaced me with nothing
I can′t relate, to any of this
All that I ever breathe is you
I wanna stage, every performance you ever gave
But it was over way before tonight
Come close, don't touch
My wasted love
It's all for him
He knew this much
I′m so caught up
In wasted love
It′s all for him, it's all for him
Out with the old, in with the new
The saying has taken full effect
Who are you now, will you conclude
There was only a girl I′ve never met
I feel used, battered and bruised
All the memories you could not protect
I was your first, your universe
They summoned a curse
But it was over way before tonight
Come close, don't touch
My wasted love
It′s all for him
He knew this much
I'm so caught up
In wasted love
It′s all for him, it's all for him
Love, love, wasted, wasted love
Come close, don't touch
My wasted love
It′s all for him
He knew this much
I′m so caught up
In wasted love
It's all for him, it′s all for him
Love, love, wasted, wasted love
Love, love, wasted, wasted love
Love, love, wasted, wasted love




Love, love, wasted, wasted love
Love, love, love, love

So I’m a ghost, someone they froze
Tell me you’ll think of me again
I am a space, a distorted face
You have replaced me with nothing
I can’t relate, to any of this
All that I ever breathe is you
I wanna stage, every performance you ever gave
But it was over way before tonight

[Chorus]
Come close, don’t touch
My wasted love
It’s all for him
He knew this much
I’m so caught up
In wasted love
It’s all for him, it’s all for him
Out with the old, in with the new
The saying has taken full effect
Who are you now, will you conclude
There was only a girl I’ve never met
I feel used, battered and bruised
All the memories you could not protect
I was your first, your universe
They summoned a curse
But it was over way before tonight
