[Verse 1]
I don't always wake up in the morning, pour myself a strong one
Oh, but when I get lonely I do
Your memory gets to burning, lean back on the bourbon
Sure as hell can't keep leaning on you

In this verse, the singer describes how he copes with loneliness after a breakup. He doesn't usually drink in the morning, but when he feels especially lonely, he reaches for a strong drink. Memories of his ex start to overwhelm him, and he finds solace in bourbon because he can't rely on his ex for comfort anymore. This habit of turning to alcohol highlights his struggle with moving on and finding a way to deal with his emotions without leaning on his ex.

[Pre-Chorus]
Looks like I'm learning the hard way again
It's all my fault, I dropped the ball
You're gone and I'm gone three sheets to the wind
Thinking 'bout all

In this pre-chorus, the singer admits that he's repeating past mistakes and learning difficult lessons once more. He takes responsibility for the breakup, acknowledging that he messed up ("dropped the ball"). With his ex gone, he finds himself heavily drinking ("three sheets to the wind") and reflecting on everything he did wrong. This line emphasizes his regret and the pain of realizing his own faults in the relationship.

[Chorus]
I've wasted on you
All of this time and all of this money
All of the these sorries I don't owe you honey
All of these miles on this Chevy and prayers in a pew
All them days I spent wasted on you
Wasted on you

The chorus conveys the singer's deep sense of regret over everything he invested in the relationship. He feels like all the time, money, and apologies were for nothing. He also mentions the physical and emotional efforts he made, such as driving long distances in his Chevy and praying for the relationship to work. Despite all his efforts, he feels like it was all wasted because the relationship ultimately failed. This chorus highlights the frustration of giving so much to someone and feeling like it was all in vain.

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I swore this one'd be different, my heart wouldn't listen
To my head and these boots on my feet
Looks like I'm learning the hard way again
That's why I've been

In this verse, the singer reflects on his belief that this relationship would be different from the past ones. He thought his heart wouldn't lead him astray this time, but it did. His heart ignored the warnings from his head and his instincts ("these boots on my feet"). As a result, he's once again learning difficult lessons the hard way. This verse underscores his disappointment in himself for not heeding his own advice and ending up in the same painful situation.

[Chorus]
Wasted on you
All of this time and all of this money

All these sorries I don't owe you, honey
All of these miles on this Chevy and prayers in a pew
All them days I spent wasted on you
Wasted on you
Wasted on you
Wasted on you

The repeated chorus drives home the message of regret and wasted effort. The singer is fixated on how much he invested in the relationship without any return. He feels burdened by the wasted time, money, and emotional energy, emphasizing the extent of his disappointment and frustration. The repetition of "Wasted on you" highlights the depth of his feelings and how much this realization affects him.

[Bridge]
Like this pile of your stuff that's packed up in a bag
Down to the flame of this match
Wasted on you, wasted on you
Wasted on you, wasted on
Wasted on

In the bridge, the singer describes packing up his ex's belongings and being ready to burn them. This act symbolizes his desire to move on and let go of the emotional baggage associated with the relationship. By preparing to burn the belongings, he's expressing the futility of holding onto the past and the need to completely rid himself of the memories and pain. This imagery highlights his determination to move forward, even though it’s difficult.

[Chorus]
All of this time, all of this money
All these sorries I don't owe you, honey
All of these miles on this Chevy and prayers in a pew
All them days I spent wasted on you
Wasted on you
All of this time and all of this money (Wasted on you)
All these sorries I don't owe you, honey (Wasted on, wasted on you)
All of these miles on this Chevy and prayers in a pew (Wasted on, wasted on you)
All these days I spent wasted on you (Wasted on, wasted on you)
Wasted on you

The final chorus brings everything together, repeating the singer’s lament over the time, money, and emotional effort he invested in the relationship. He feels burdened by the waste of resources and the prayers that didn’t change anything. The repetition emphasizes how deeply these feelings affect him. He keeps repeating the chorus, highlighting his sense of loss and the impact of realizing how much he gave to someone who didn’t reciprocate. This extended repetition serves to underscore the intensity of his regret and the emotional weight of his wasted efforts.
