Wasted Love (song lyrics)

by: Teresa Lavender

By Teresa LavenderPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

It was another time, it was another place

it was a different room when I saw your face

you were looking at me, and I was looking at you

and we made a deal across a crowded room

while the music played – I can't recall the tune

then you melted the ice in my heart beneath the silver moon

and I wish I'd never seen your face I wish I could erase

I wish I never knew the taste of your love, this wasted love

if I could go back in time I'd look the other way

I'd wipe my heart clean of the memory or your love, your love, your love, this wasted love

I gave up the spring, I gave up the fall

sitting here waiting for your call

I was drawn to your fire, like a moth to a flame

it was a stormy night in your embrace

laughing like children, passion and pain

how was I to know I'd never be here again

and I wish I'd never seen your face I wish I could erase

I wish I never knew the taste of your love, this wasted love

if I could go back in time I'd look the other way

I'd wipe my heart clean of the memory or your love, your love, your love, this wasted love

sad poetry
