The song “Wasted Love” by JJ, Austria’s entry for Eurovision 2025, explores the pain and emotional intensity of unrequited love — love that’s given but not returned.
JJ has described the song as a deeply personal reflection on a time when he felt like he was “floating in the middle of the ocean on...
[Verse 1]
I'm an ocean of love
And you're scared of water
You don't want to go under
So you let me go under
I reach out my hand
But you watch me grow distant
Drift out to the sea and
Far away in an instant
[Pre-Chorus]
You left me in the deep end
I'm drownin' in my feelings
How do you not see that?
[Chorus]
Now that you're gone
All I have
Is wasted love
This wasted love
Now that you're gone
Can't fill my heart
With wasted love
This wasted love
[Verse 2]
When you let me go
I barely stayed afloat
I'm floatin' all alone
Still, I'm holdin' on to hope
[Chorus]
Now that you're gone
All I have
Is wasted love
This wasted love
Now that you're gone
Can't fill my heart
With wasted love
This wasted love
[Bridge]
Wasted love
This wasted
[Breakdown]
Wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted
Wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted
Love (Wasted, wasted, wasted, wasted)
Love
