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
