Love is wasted on lovers
They don't know what's in their arms
They don't know until it's gone
Who put out that spark?
Love is wasted on lovers
They will open every stitch
Breaking something just to fix
Seal it with a kiss
Love is wasted on lovers

It's such a shame to lose this way
And I'm recognizing no one's to blame
We both took aim
Though there was so much beauty
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, can't you see
Love is wasted on lovers

They don't know what's in their arms
They don't know until it's gone
Who put out that spark?
Love is wasted on lovers
They will open every stitch
Breaking something just to fix
Seal it with a kiss
Love is wasted on lovers

We used to be so young and naive
And thought that we'd be different
Love, love's a blind fold
It doesn't let go 'till it's to late to see it
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, can't you see
Love is wasted on lovers

They don't know what's in their arms
They don't know until it's gone
Who put out that spark?
Love is wasted on lovers
They will open every stitch
Breaking something just to fix
Seal it with a kiss
Love is wasted on lovers

And I wasted it on you (and you'll never know)
And I wasted it on you (and you'll never know)

They don't know what's in their arms
They don't know until it's gone
Who put out that spark?
Love is wasted on lovers
They will open every stitch
Breaking something just to fix
Seal it with a kiss
Love is wasted on lovers

They don't know what's in their arms
They don't know until it's gone
Love is wasted on lovers
