Wasted on You Lyrics

"Wasted on You" by Morgan Wallen may actually be classified as rather reflective, in that he delves deeply into the feelings of a relationship gone wrong; one where he seems lost in thoughts about investments—both emotional and physical—that actually feel squandered at this point. This song touches a lot of hearts in honest portrayal of heartbreak and the struggle to move on. The lyrics of the track underline an all-too-relatable sting upon reflection of how much a failed relationship can cost: time, money, and emotions. The metaphor of Wallen using alcohol to drown the pain might be the stingingly sorrowful and lonely type that is often typical of these feelings immediately after the breakup. He gives reflection to how much it took: effort, resources all poured into the relationship, only to seem like they were wasted by the only person not in his life anymore. Lyrically, it's a fantastic co-write. Wallen wrote the song with Josh Thompson, Ernest K. Smith, and Ryan Vojtesak, so it's a campy song that gives words new meaning. It soon rose as one of the top tracks on iTunes. Indeed, it was just released, and this tells something about being able to relate to the song easily and how universal its themes would be. Wallen brought much more sincerity to it by pulling in his own experience, including both his relationship to ex-fiancée Katie Smith and their shared journey in welcoming their son, to add yet another layer of sincerity to this song. This lifetime background adds strength to the emotions involved, rendering "Wasted on You" an anthem with which to identify for anybody who is trying to deal with the remains of a past love.
