«Wasting Love» de Iron Maiden es una canción de rock melódico que trata sobre el amor perdido y la soledad. La letra se centra en la idea de que el amor se desperdicia cuando se toma por sentado, y los sentimientos no se comparten. La canción incluye una melodía de guitarra rítmica y una línea de bajo profunda, con la voz de Bruce Dickinson cantando sobre el amor perdido. La canción es una advertencia para aquellos que no valoran el amor que tienen, y un recordatorio de que el amor es un regalo precioso.
Maybe one day I’ll be an honest man
Up till now, I’m doing the best I can
Long roads, long days of sunrise to sunset
Sunrise to sunset
Dream on brothers, while you can
Dream on sisters, I hope you find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly
By the tides of time
Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night
Dream on brothers, while you can
Dream on sisters, I hope you find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly
By the tides of time
Sands are flowing
And the lines are in your hand
In your eyes I see the hunger
And the desperate cry that tears the night
Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night
Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night
Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night
