These Wasted Words Lyrics
These broken dreams are enough
to make better people give up
But not us
We soldier on like nothing's wrong
Did we think that we'd last this long?
Oh no
We touch souls while walking across the coals
If we give up nothing will be good enough
If we never make love again
will you still want to call out my name
There is nothing left to explain
when we admit that there's no one to blame
You drove my car down the street
thinking you would never repeat
all those lies
I sat and stared into space
But all I could see was your face
above mine
It's easy to hurt the one you love the most
Stay with me
We're never giving up the coast
If we never make love again
will you still want to call out my name
There is nothing left to explain
when we admit that there's no one but
These wasted words
Never to be heard
Oh we all pray that there's more to life than love
If we never make love again
will you still want to call out my name
There is nothing left to explain
when we admit that there's no one to blame
No one to blame
to make better people give up
But not us
Did we think that we'd last this long?
Oh no
If we give up nothing will be good enough
will you still want to call out my name
There is nothing left to explain
when we admit that there's no one to blame
thinking you would never repeat
all those lies
But all I could see was your face
above mine
Stay with me
We're never giving up the coast
will you still want to call out my name
There is nothing left to explain
when we admit that there's no one but
Never to be heard
Oh we all pray that there's more to life than love
will you still want to call out my name
There is nothing left to explain
when we admit that there's no one to blame
No one to blame

I think this is a song about AIDS. The guy contracted AIDS somehow (blood transfusion during 1980's? This would work with the no one to blame part, as many people were accidently infected in this way). He's afraid she'll leave him because of it. Also, its "are we afraid that there's more to life than love?" I think the wasted words are prayers.
