[Verse 1]
Your love is wasted in my heart
I'm always better when I'm gone
You thought you wanted to belong
You only wanted someone to belong to

You are not a bedroom
You are not a piece of glass
You only got it if you hold it
But I've never met a man who can

[Chorus]
Love is wasted in the dark
We're always better when we're gone
You think just 'cause you're in my arms
Someone told me how to keep you safe from harm

[Bridge]
I'm wasted in the dark
I'm drinking from your lessons
I am underwater
You are someone's daughter
I try not to call but you always pick up
Oh you know it but

[Verse 2]
Your love is wasted in my heart
I'm always better when I'm gone
You thought you wanted to belong
You only wanted someone to belong to
Don't waste it in the dark
Don't waste it in the dark

[Bridge]
I just want to fill my heart
I want it to boil over
I'm good at the ending
All of this pretending
If I'm being honest
Well I knew it from the start
[Pre-Chorus]
Love is wasted in the dark
We're always better when we're gone
I thought I wanted to belong
But all I really wanted was the room to fall

[Chorus]
Love is wasted
Your love is wasted in the dark
