Wasted Energy Lyrics

[Verse 1: Alicia Keys]
Don't want your love
Don't worry who I'm seein' tonight
It's none of your business
Too bad I weren't enough
'Cause ready or not, I'm better on my own

[Pre-Chorus: Alicia Keys]
Too many times, you turned a blind eye to the way I feel
Oh, you're the reason why I'm numb
And when I try to give you my time, it's never, ever ideal
Had to learn it the hard way, oh yeah

[Chorus: Alicia Keys]
Wasted energy, yeah
Wasted energy
Wasted energy, yeah
Why did you, why did you fuck up the chemistry?

[Verse 2: Alicia Keys]
Brokеn promises along the way
Lost count of how many you made
My lovе, my love, my love
Tied up in your plans, still on center stage, no great escape
Wouldn't keep you, my line up, line up, line up, oh
[Pre-Chorus: Alicia Keys]
Too many times, you turned a blind eye to the way I feel
Oh, you're the reason why I'm numb
And when I try to give you my time, it's never, ever ideal
Had to learn it the hard way, oh yeah

[Chorus: Alicia Keys]
Wasted energy, yeah
Wasted energy
Wasted energy
Why did you, why did you fuck up the chemistry?

[Outro: Diamond Platnumz]
Kwa nini penzi umelikata miguu
Unalibidua mara chini mara juu?
Why?
Why?
Moyo unaumia, Moyo unaumia
Moyo unaumia kwa nini unaugeuza nguo karaha?
Eti karaha, oh-oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
