Lyrics That Speak to You

March 11, 2022 By Megan Relatable Experiences

First of all, I’d just like to say that if you’ve never seen Morgan Wallen perform live, you better make sure you hit him up the next time he’s in your area! Dan and I went to his show in Sioux Falls Thursday night, and let me tell you: IT WAS SOOOO GOOD! Larry Fleet and HARDY both opened for him, and they were just as good. I only knew one song by Larry, but HARDY I like almost as much as Morgan, and he was a hoot! They’ve all got some great songs.

Anyway, I like every Morgan Wallen song, but there was one song in particular that I really wanted him to play while we were there. And he made me nervous because he didn’t sing it until he came back out for an encore – I thought he wasn’t going to sing it!!

Everyone has a song – or multiple songs – where the lyrics feel like were written just for them. It makes you feel like that’s the exact situation you are currently in, or used to be in. For me, Morgan Wallen’s Wasted On You, hits pretty close to home. Here’s the specific line that I’m talking about:

Thinkin’ ’bout all I’ve wasted on you
All of this time and all of this money
All of these sorrys’ 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 Megan from two and a half years ago was feeling exactly this way. I spent a lot of time being angry that I had wasted so much time and energy on someone who really couldn’t give two shits about me. The line, All of these sorrys’ I don’t owe you honey, particularly sticks out to me because I remember constantly apologizing for not being good enough for this person. And you know what!? I didn’t owe him jack shit!! HE should have apologized to ME for putting me through hell. Every time I listen to this song, I feel like Morgan put into words exactly what I had been feeling back then.

But you know what happened when I heard it at the concert? I looked over at Dan, who was also singing along to this song, and I got the biggest smile on my face because I know I’ll never have to feel that way again. Those days are long over.

Both HARDY and Morgan said that when they writes songs, they want to make sure we feel something. They succeeded! I was feeling all the feels that night. Mostly, I was feeling loved. I may have had a rough go at it in the past, but I feel lucky to have Dan now. I know for a fact he’d never ever make me feel that way, and I’m just so blessed.
