Wasted Love
Steve Angello Ft. Dougy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Danny was a young girl, but since she lived the hungry lives
Down the street from old town in a cloud of smoke he caught her eyes
Never will they wonder, never will they be the same inside
Then she kissed him softly and walked within the stillness of the night

Wasted love, why do I always give so much?
Wasted love, you know I gave you all my heart
Wasted love, can't help but always give too much
But it's never enough

Wasted love, why do I always give so much?
But it's never enough

Still her ghost is lingering
Down that dusty road of broken dreams
I tried my luck on a little flame
But she became the fire within

Wasted love, why do I always give so much?
Wasted love, you know I gave you all my heart
Wasted love, can't help but always give too much
But it's never enough





Wasted love, why do I always give so much?
But it's never enough

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Steve Angello feat. Dougy from The Temper Trap's song "Wasted Love" tell the story of a young girl named Danny who catches the attention of someone living down the street from old town. The lyrics suggest that Danny may have been someone who had a difficult life, as referenced by the line "since she lived the hungry lives." The person who catches her eye is drawn to her and after she kisses him softly, she walks away into the stillness of the night. From there, the song shifts to the subject of wasted love. The singer laments about always giving too much in relationships, but it never being enough. The ghost of Danny still lingers as the singer tries his luck with others, but he is unable to shake the memory of the love he once had with her.

Danni was a young girl
But said that she lived a hundred lives
Down the street from Old Town
In a cloud of smoke he caught her eyes
Never will they wonder
Never will they be the same inside

Steve is underrated asf man!

@alchemist2048

Too much. What I adore with angello is he's the different one from the group , his tracks are masterpieces , every damn one of them are unique, pair him with the other 2 and you get SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA, the deadly trios of EDM

@syncretictakeout2842

Dougy from the Temper Trap I'd underrated asf also. His falsettos are unparalleled by other male singers in indie rock.
