Waste of Love

Oh, losing you, it feels like a curse,

The love I poured, now it just hurts,

In this game of hearts where I lost my spark,

Drowning in shadows that light can't embark.

You didn’t see the love in my eyes,

Thought it was a game, filled with deceitful lies,

My heart’s a wild bird trapped in a cage,

Yearning to fly, but it’s filled with rage.

I tried to convince myself, maybe it was true,

These butterflies fluttering, thinking of you,

But each flutter fades, like the dusk turning gray,

It’s hard to move on when they won’t go away.

Please, baby please, don’t hold me tight,

These chains of love drag me into the night,

Killing myself won’t clear the pain,

My history binds me, like a ball and chain.

Staring in the mirror, who is that I see?

A ghost of a lover who thought you’d be free,

Every promise you made, now crumbled like dust,

What’s left of a heart, where’s the trust?

You said you'd be true, my heart held the key,

But you tossed it away, was it all a dream?

These memories haunt me, echoes of the past,

Our love’s a fragile bloom, didn’t think it’d last.

I try to move on, but the pain's so real,

Can’t escape the memories, how do I heal?

You made me whole, now I’m falling apart,

Still feeling the traces of you in my heart.

Please, baby please, don’t hold me tight,

These chains of love drag me into the night,

Killing myself won’t clear the pain,

My history binds me, like a ball and chain.

So here I am, with this aching soul,

Running in circles, losing all control,

Losing you’s been a waste of my love,

Like shadows dancing, but never enough.
