Waste Love Lyrics

[Verse 1: mgk]
Woke up and you wasn't next to me this mornin'
Saw a yellow cab drive you down the street on Broadway
Wish I could erase the mistakes that I made, I'm sorry
Wanted me to chase you inside, but the house too haunted

[Chorus: mgk]
I tried to get away with the worst; this time, you caught me
Tried to find a place for the words so I can say sorry
It's so shitty how I waste love
I know it's shitty how I waste love
Come home every night, I'm wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted


[Verse 2: mgk]
It's gettin' hard to fake how I feel when your face still taunts me
I know it's hard to fake how you feel, do you not still want me?

How'd you run away from the place you brought me?
I did it to myself though, go ahead and blame this on me

[Chorus: Madison Love & mgk]
You tried to get away with the worst; this time, I caught you
Tried to make you stay with my words, but this time, I lost you
So shitty how you waste love (It's shitty how I waste love)
It's so shitty how you waste love (I know it's shitty how I waste love)
Get home every night, you're wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted
[Bridge: mgk, mgk & Madison Love]
Wait, I thought we were done, how'd you end up in my arms last night? (Fuck)
I guess a little bit of pain kinda make it feel good sometimes
Why you try to run when it feel like you're the one sometimes?
I guess a little bit of pain kinda make it feel good

[Chorus: Madison Love & mgk]
Tried to get away with the worst; this time, I caught you
(This time, this time, you caught me)
Tried to make you stay with my words, but this time, I lost you
(This time, this time, I lost you)
So shitty how you waste love (It's shitty how I waste love)
It's so shitty how you waste love (I know it's shitty how I waste love)
Get home every night, you're wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted (Ah)

[Outro: mgk, Madison Love & Both]
I thought we were done, how'd you end up in my arms last night?
I guess a little bit of pain kinda make it feel good sometimes
(Wanna make you feel good, mm)
Why you try to run when it feel like you're the one sometimes?
I guess a little bit of pain kinda make it feel good
