lyrics

Good Love, Gone to Waste

You’re such a fool you know
You turned your back on me.
I’m the one who loves you
And gives it to ya free.
Why’d you do it baby?
Why’d you have to break?
Is the way I want you
More than you can take?
Don’t you know there’s nothing
That can leave such a bitter taste?
As a dream that comes up empty
And good love, gone to waste.

I’m such a fool I know.
I turned your heart to stone.
I lost sight of the borderline
And the things that you’d condone.
Why’d I do it baby?
Why’d I have to fall?
Leave me with this empty bed
And your picture on the wall.
I have this vision of you
That will never be replaced
Ain’t much in this world that’s worse
Than good love, gone to waste.

We’re both such fools we know,
We try to get it right.
Shrouded in this darkness
When we’re standing in the light.
Why’d we do it baby?
Why’d we have to burn?
There’s so much I could teach you
And there’s so much I could learn.
Trying to heal this heart without you
Is the hardest task I’ve ever faced.
The hardest part is seeing
All this good love, gone to waste.
