Wasted Times Lyrics
Artist: The Weeknd
"Wasted Times" by The Weeknd, featured on his EP "My Dear Melancholy," delves deepp into themes of regret, unfulfilled relationships, and longing for a past lover. The song is a raw expression of the singer's emotions as he reflects on a past relationship that he deems significant in comparison to subsequent ones. This emotional turmoil is accentuated by the realization that time spent with others pales in comparison to the moments shared with a former love, whom he continues to miss deeply despite their tumultuous past.
The track, released in 2018, was penned by The Weeknd alongside Brittany Hazzard, Sonny Moore, and Adam Feeney, with production credits going to Frank Dukes and Skrillex. It candidly explores the commplexity of the singer's feelings towards an ex-girlfriend, against the backdrop of his experiences with other women post-breakup. The lyrics convey a sense of wasted time and opportunity in pursuing relationships that fail to measure up to one he truly values. This sentiment is underscored by his contemplation and jealousy over the thought of his ex with someone else, indicating that despite their separation, his emotional attachment and feelings of loss remain strong.
The narrative within "Wasted Times" suggests a real-life inspiration behind the lyrics, believed by many to refer to The Weeknd's relationships with Bella Hadid and Selena Gomez. The song is interpreted as an ode to Hadid, expressing regret over the time spent away from her and possibly during his relationship with Gomez. This speculation is bolstered by The Weeknd's history of publicly documented relationships with these individuals, further enriching the song's emotional depth and the authenticity of its sentiments.
Wasted Times Lyrics
Wasted Times by The Weeknd
Wasted times I spent with someone else
She wasn't even half of you
Reminiscin' how you felt
Reminiscin' how you felt
And even though you put my life through hell
I can't seem to forget 'bout you, 'bout you
I want you to myself
[Chorus]
And now I'm askin', who do you belong to now?
Who you give that love to now?
Who you pullin' up on?
Who you gettin' sprung for now?
And what they got that I ain't got? 'Cause I got a lot
Don't make me run up on 'em, got me blowin' up their spot
'Cause I ain't got no business catchin' feelings anyway
I ain't got no business catchin' feelings
[Verse 2]
Catchin' feelings
These girls only want you when you're winnin' (Winnin')
But you've been with me from the beginnin' (Ooh, yeah, yeah)
And I know right now that we're not talkin' (Not talkin')
I hope you know this dick is still an option
'Cause I'll beat it up (I'll beat it up, yeah)
I took my time to learn the way your body functions
You were equestrian, so ride it like a champion (Ride it, baby)
This sex will get you high without no other substance
[Chorus]
So who do you belong to now? (Who do you belong to now?)
Who you give that love to now? (Who you give that love to now?)
Who you pullin' up on?
Who you gettin' sprung for now? (Who you gettin' sprung for now?)
And what they got that I ain't got? 'Cause I got a lot (I got a lot)
Don't make me run up on 'em, got me blowin' up their spot (Blowin' up their spot)
'Cause I ain't got no business catchin' feelings anyway
I ain't got no business catchin' feelings (Feelings)
[Bridge]
Catchin' feelings
I ain't got no business catchin' feelings
I ain't got no business catchin' feelings
Catchin' fee-fee-fee-fee
Feelings
I ain't got no business catchin' feelings
I ain't got no business catchin' feelings
Catchin' fee-fee-fee-fee
[Outro]
Wake up
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
If you ain't layin' next to me
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
If you ain't layin' next to me-e-e
On me, me, on me, oh, I
On me, on me, on me
