Such a Waste of Love

Foolish emotions buried within
Careless notions seep through the skin
Hide underground, a terrible thing
Such a waste of love
Foolish emotions, taste the bitter pill
Wash away heart ache, but sadder still
Hide underground, now where's the thrill?
Such a waste of love

A temporary feeling, feeling like this
Unforgiving hearts beat to the sound of a kiss
Shimmer away to a place I won't miss
Such a waste of love
Supposedly I knew just what to say
Frozen alone, we're cut from the same
A careless notion torn out of shame
Such a waste of love
