Wasted Love
Marie Serneholt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then tell me why I don't believe you
Maybe you sound just to sincere
Maybe I just saw right trough you
Cause who's the girl
Walking there by your side
The way she smiles I just know
I wasted love
I wasted love
I wasted all my emotions on you
I wasted love
So here the walls come tumbling down
A heart's breaking into a thousand pieces
I might be damaged but I'll be Ok
Everything happens for a reason
Who's the girl
Walking there by your side
The way she smiles I just know
I wasted love
I wasted love
I wasted all my emotions on you
I wasted love
Everything happens for a reason
Who's the girl
Walking there by your side
The way she smiles I just know
(I can tell by the way you smile, yeah)
I wasted love
I wasted love
I wasted all my emotions on you
I wasted love
The lyrics of Marie Serneholt's Wasted Love speak of the heartbreak of a person who has given their all to a relationship, only to be betrayed in the end. The first verse sets the stage for the conflict, with the singer expressing doubts about their partner's honesty. The second verse is the climax, as the singer's world comes crashing down and they realise that their love has been wasted on someone who never deserved it.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I wasted love" three times, driving home the sense of loss and regret that the singer feels. The final line, "everything happens for a reason", adds a glimmer of hope and suggests that the singer will eventually move on and find someone who is truly worthy of their love.
The reference to "the girl walking there by your side" suggests that the song is about a romantic relationship, but it could also be interpreted more broadly as a commentary on any kind of relationship in which one party is betrayed by the other.
Overall, Wasted Love is a powerful and relatable song about heartbreak and the struggle to come to terms with a painful end to a relationship.
