I don't wanna love and I don't want anybody else
Anybody else to either
I don't want faith and I don't wanna start another war
A kingdom for my crowd of believers

Did I lose my calling, did I lose you?
Don't lovers always get what they want?

I made a stupid mistake
And my world crashed down all around me
Oh, I made a stupid mistake
And I threw it all away, threw it all away

I got lazy on the wrong side of love
Now I'm searching every face, every crowd
For you, for you, for you, for you

I don't wanna stain, I don't want your love upon my hands
But I don't understand what I'm leaving
I don't wanna pray but I don't want forgiveness from above
When none of this was in my believing

Did I choose to fall down, did I lose you?
Don't lovers always get what they want?

I made a stupid mistake
And my world crashed down all around me, oh
I made a stupid mistake
And I threw it all away, threw it all away

I got lazy on the wrong side of love
Now I'm searching every face, every crowd
For you, for you, for you, for you

I've been walking around with my head in the dirt
I've been stripped of everything that ever made me converse
I've been lonely, I've been searching
The crowd for you, for you

I got lazy on the wrong side of love, I was stupid
Sold my kingdom for a war with you, oh, with you, oh
Oh, oh

I made a stupid mistake
And my world crashed down all around me, oh
I made a stupid mistake
And I threw it all away, I threw it all away

I got lazy on the wrong side of love
Now I'm searching every face, every crowd
For you, for you, for you, for you

You don't want love
You don't want anybody else to either
