Waste
Joe Avio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought that I could change you
Guess you're never changing
Thought that you could change me
Guess I'll keep you waiting

When you say we're fine
Wish you'd pick a fight
Thought that I could change you
Guess you're never changing

Yeah, we got our problems
No, we never solve 'em
Always got a guard up
Never being honest

Every single lie
Keeps me asking why
Yeah we got our problems
When we never solve 'em

Baby it feels like you've been wasting my love (wasting my love)
All I give you is never enough (never enough)
Hands on my body, like you want me
Keep me coming back
Baby now I don't mind you wasting my love
Wasting my love tonight

Always on my body
But we're never touching
Late night when you're calling
You know that you got me

I give into you
Nothing left to lose
When you're on my body
But we're never touching

Baby it feels like you've been wasting my love (wasting my love)
All I give you is never enough (never enough)
Hands on my body, like you want me
Keep me coming back
Baby now I don't mind you wasting my love
Wasting my love tonight

Wasting my love tonight

Waste it
I can take it
Why don't you face it?
It's only working when we're naked, baby

Waste it
I can take it
Why don't you face it?
It's only working when we're naked, baby

Feels like you've been wasting my love (wasting my love)
All I give you is never enough
Hands on my body, like you want me
Keep me coming back
Baby now I don't mind you wasting my love
Wasting my love tonight

Wasting my love tonight




I don't mind you wasting my love
Wasting my love tonight

Overall Meaning

The song "Waste" by Joe Avio revolves around a toxic relationship where both parties are aware that they are wasting each other's time and love. The first verse opens up with the singer realizing that he cannot change his partner who is never changing, and he's now aware that his partner can't change him as well. His partner keeps saying that everything's fine, but he wishes they would argue instead of pretending. The second verse points out that even though they have problems and always keep up a facade, they fail to address the issues that they have. Every lie only leads to more questions.


The chorus highlights how the singer's partner has been wasting his love, and even though he gives his all, it's never enough, and it feels like they are just running in circles. They keep touching but never reaching a point of satisfaction as it still feels like wasted time. The pre-chorus refers to how they only work when they are naked, which implies that they only connect on a physical level.


In summary, the song is about a relationship that cannot seem to work out, and even though they are aware of the problems, they fail to acknowledge them. They keep coming back to each other just like an addiction, even if it's not healthy or sustainable.
