Waste
Dove Cameron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a lit, like a lit cigarette
Now I'm here in your room hitting snooze
On the side of your bed
I should've known it the day we met
That shit is worse than a hit and run
My mom thinks I need therapy
But the thing is that she
Doesn't know how you do what you do
But you must do this to everyone
That shit is worse than a hit and run
I wanna waste all my love on you
I wanna waste all my love on you
I wanna waste, yeah, yeah
I wanna waste, yeah, yeah
I wanna waste
My love on you
When you leave my house, leave my car
Walk away from the restaurant
I admit I panic, I can't breathe
I bet you do this to everyone
And it's so cruel, but I'm having fun
I wanna waste all my love on you
I wanna waste all my love on you
I wanna waste, yeah, yeah
I wanna waste, yeah, yeah
I wanna waste
My love on you
My love on you
My love on you
My love
I wanna waste
Don't you want somebody
Who's gon' love you like I do
Don't you want somebody
Who's gon' love you like I do
I wanna waste all my love on you
I wanna waste all my love on you
I wanna waste, yeah, yeah
I wanna waste, yeah, yeah
I wanna waste
My love
I wanna waste all my love on you
I wanna waste all my love on you
I wanna waste, yeah, yeah
I wanna waste, yeah, yeah
I wanna waste
My love on you
The lyrics to Dove Cameron's song Waste depict a person who is infatuated with someone who they know isn't good for them. The first two lines, "Well you have me in, in your hands/Like a lit, like a lit cigarette," suggest that this person feels controlled and consumed by their attraction to the other person, much like a lit cigarette can consume itself. This person admits that they should have known from the beginning that the relationship would be harmful, saying "I should've known it the day we met/That shit is worse than a hit and run." The metaphor of a hit and run implies that this person feels like they have been struck by the negative effects of the relationship and left to suffer the consequences alone.
The chorus of the song, "I wanna waste all my love on you," reveals that despite the knowledge that this person is toxic for them, they cannot help but want to give everything to them. The lines, "When you leave my house, leave my car/Walk away from the restaurant/I admit I panic, I can't breathe," suggest that the person experiences extreme anxiety and feels powerless when the other person is not around. The lyrics "And it's so cruel, but I'm having fun" show that this person recognizes the harm that is being done to them but cannot bring themselves to end the relationship because they are so drawn to the other person.
Overall, the lyrics of Waste depict a toxic and one-sided relationship that the singer is unable to extricate themselves from, despite recognizing the harm it is causing them.

My mom thinks I need therapy
My mother believes I need therapy for constantly singing and thinking about you.
'Cause I sing, only sing about you
I cannot help but sing about you, you are constantly on my mind.
But the thing is that she
However, my mother doesn't understand that she
Doesn't know how you do what you do

But you must do this to everyone
I believe you have this effect on other people as well, not just me.

Whenever you leave my company, my heart aches and I long for your return.
Walk away from the restaurant
Even when you simply walk away from a restaurant, I feel a sense of panic and desperation to be near you.

And it's so cruel, but I'm having fun
Even though I know it's cruel, I can't help but enjoy the thrill of loving you and getting hurt in return.
Don't you want somebody
Don't you desire someone
Who's gon' love you like I do

I wanna waste all my love on you
I want to give you all of my love, even if it's not reciprocated equally.
My love on you
Every ounce of my love is directed towards you.
