[Verse 1]
It's easier to open up
Once these drinks hit our veins
Laugh about the good times we had
But we'd cry through the pain
'Cause paradise was just around the corner
But we'd broken down on Loneliness Lane
And it wasn't like our mothers never warned us
What would happen if we acted this way

[Pre-Chorus]
We were showing off the local girls by fighting in these streets
Trying not to scuff up these new Nikes on our feet
Never were the type of lads that liked to keep the peace
So don't waste your love
That's why I'm saying

[Chorus]
Don't waste your love on me
Don't waste your love on me

[Verse 2]
It's funny how we never open up to the ones that we love
I wonder if our parents are proud of what we've become
'Cause none of us know how to show emotion
They don't teach you that down Loneliness Lane
So these heavy hearts of our sleeves are now broken
But we're smiling if the drink is our veins
[Pre-Chorus]
We're still showing off the local girls by fighting in these streets
Trying not to scuff up these new Nikes on our feet
Never were the type of lads that liked to keep the peace
So don't waste your love
That's why I'm saying

[Chorus]
Don't waste your love on me
Don't waste your love on me
Don't waste your love on me
Don't waste your love on me

[Bridge - Spoken Word]
"You alright, Mister?"
"Yeah"
"Hey?"
"Dada"
"Dada. Where we going?"
"Na"
"Na?"
"Na"
"Yeah"
Who's this?" "Dada"
"And who's that there?" "Mama"
"Mama, yeah"
[Chorus]
Don't waste your love on me
Don't waste your love on me
Don't waste your love on me
Don't waste your love on me
