Lyrics to Wasted Love

I’m an ocean of love And you’re scared of water You don’t want to go under, So you let me go under. I reach out my hand, But you watch me grow distant Drift out to the sea And far away in an instant You left me in the deep end I’m drowning in my feelings How do you not see that? Now that you’re gone All I have is wasted love This wasted love Now that you’re gone Can’t fill my heart with wasted love This wasted love When you let me go, I barely stayed afloat I’m floating all alone Still I’m holding on to hope Now that you’re gone All I have is wasted love This wasted love Now that you’re gone Can 't fill my heart with wasted love This wasted love Wasted love This wasted love Wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted Wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted, love Wasted love
