My wasted heart

My wasted heart

Growing older, with memories on my mind.

Wishing I could have had more time to share,

With the women I have loved.

Laughing at love with open eyes, now I am no longer blind.

Romantic comedies are my painful addiction

And my love life is so unjust.

Sing me a song and I will take it to my heart.

Let the backing singers sing along and let their voices be heard!

My wasted heart has forever been lost in the dark.

Will you become my guiding light

And let me see clearly through the blur?

I want to find love, so inside a film I look.

Can you help me find the love I seek? 

There are too many books on love.

All I want is you; let me into your life for a while.

Dance with me under a disco ball and I will try to make you smile.

Raise the trumpets, bang the drums,

Clap those hands and sing about love!

Let my wasted heart find those three words it wishes to hear.

Surely I deserve a little piece of happiness too.

Am I ever going to find a real and true love that will never disappear?

Before you depart and vanish from my life,

Let me leave a thought inside your mind…

Could you fall hopelessly head over heels with me?

And could I be someone you could be with?

I would like to know, how do you feel and what do you see?

When you have come to your decision, could you give me a hint?

If we had never met and you had never known of my existence,

Would you have missed out on something that you could desire?

If you were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar

And I had never asked for your assistance,

Would I have made a mistake if I had never told you,

That you are what I require?

Would my love have been wasted, without you to love?

Or would you make the first declaration inside a crowded café?

You can leave and forget me, but I would never give up on love,

So before you walk away and waste my heart once again,

Please remember how you felt when we first met…

Before I become a stranger and I sadly walk away.
