Wasted on You Lyrics – Morgan Wallen
Wasted on You Lyrics
[Verse 1: Morgan Wallen]
I don't always wake up in the morning
Pour myself a strong one
Although when I get lonely I do
Your memory gets burning
Lean back on the bourbon
Sure as hell can't keep leaning on you
[Pre-Chorus: Morgan Wallen]
Looks like I'm learning the hard way again
It's all my fault
Yeah, I dropped the ball
You're gone and I'm gone three sheets to the wind
Thinking 'bout all I've wasted on you
[Chorus: Morgan Wallen]
All of this time and all of this money
All of the these sorries I don't owe you honey
All of these miles on this Chevy, and prayers in a pew
All them days I spent, wasted on you
Wasted on you
[Verse 2: Morgan Wallen]
Yeah, I swore this one'd be different
My heart wouldn't listen to my head
And these boots on my feet
Looks like I'm learning the hard way again
That's why I've been wasted on you
[Chorus: Morgan Wallen]
All of this time and all of this money
All these sorries I don't owe you, honey
All of these miles on this Chevy and prayers in a pew
All them days I spent, wasted on you
Wasted on you
[Bridge: Morgan Wallen]
Like this pile of your stuff
That's packed up in the back
Right down to the flame of this match
Wasted on you, wasted on you
Wasted on you, wasted on you
Wasted on you
[Chorus: Morgan Wallen]
All of this time and all of this money
All these sorries I don't owe you, honey
All of these miles on this Chevy and prayers in a pew
All them days I spent, wasted on you
Wasted on you
[Outro: Morgan Wallen]
Wasted on you, wasted on you
Wasted On You Lyrics Meaning
"Wasted on You" by Morgan Wallen portrays the aftermath of a failed relationship, encapsulating the emotional toll, regrets, and the realization of investing too much into someone who didn't reciprocate the same feelings. It delves into the pain and introspection following a breakup, as each section of the song unveils different facets of this experience. Let's explain the meaning of each paragraph.
[Verse 1]
The opening verse sets the stage for the conflicted emotions experienced after a breakup. It highlights the struggle of dealing with loneliness and memories that persist despite trying to move forward. The use of alcohol, specifically bourbon, becomes a coping mechanism, but the protagonist acknowledges the futility of relying on these vices to fill the void left by the relationship.
[Pre-Chorus]
This part emphasizes personal accountability and regret. The protagonist admits fault, acknowledging their own mistakes that led to the relationship's demise. There's a sense of self-blame and recognition of the consequences faced due to their actions or inaction. The mention of being "gone three sheets to the wind" implies being inebriated or emotionally distressed.
[Chorus]
The chorus reflects on the time, money, and apologies the singer has invested in the relationship. He suggests that he doesn't owe any more apologies to his former partner. The mention of "miles on this Chevy and prayers in a pew" likely signifies the time and effort he put into the relationship, as well as the moments of reflection and regret in a church pew. The central theme here is the feeling of having wasted a significant part of his life on this relationship.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, the singer had hoped that this relationship would be different from his past experiences. He believed that his heart wouldn't repeat the same mistakes, but it did. The boots on his feet may symbolize his journey, and he's realizing that he's once again learning the hard way. This verse echoes the theme of regret and the repetition of his relationship patterns.
[Bridge]
The bridge alludes to the physical remnants of the relationship. The pile of the partner's belongings packed in the back and the imagery of a burning match may symbolize the finality of the breakup and the act of letting go. The repeated refrain of "Wasted on you" emphasizes the idea that everything invested in the relationship has been in vain.
[Chorus]
The final chorus reiterates the feeling of regret and the realization that the singer has given so much, including time, money, and apologies, to the relationship. He once again states that he doesn't owe any more apologies, and the mention of the Chevy and prayers underscores the depth of his commitment to the relationship.
[Outro]
The outro simply repeats the phrase "Wasted on you," emphasizing the overarching theme of regret and the idea that everything invested in the relationship has been squandered.
Overall, "Wasted on You" explores the pain, regret, and realization of having invested so much in a relationship that ultimately didn't work out. The lyrics convey a sense of learning from one's mistakes and coming to terms with the consequences of one's actions.
