Wasting My Young Years

The song is about someone who has just come out of a long relationship where both people fell in love at a young age and have grown up alongside one another, but now they have broken up, they are still holding on to what they had instead of acccepting it for what it has now turned into. "i've walked these miles, but walked in a straight line" indicates that the relationship ended because the other person wasnt true in the relationship, which is why it's ended. The person singing this song feels let down and betrayed, but also taken for a fool "you'll never know what was there to be fine" This song is about them both trying to make it work, but it just won't because of what has happened between them, they are both hoping it will turn into what it used to be before it wall went wrong, but they are in fact just living in the past. This song is about the realisation that the singer is actually living in the past, holding onto something that once was, but is no longer. She is confused and angry because for her the love never changed, and now she doesn't know how to stop loving the other, or move on, because she thought her younger years and older years were just going to be about them both.
