What all the other boys all promised
We are entirely smooth
We're concentrating on falling apart
I am all you've ever wanted
Don't have the cure for
Sorry I told
I just wanna believe
Oh, it's so hard to have someone to love
Oh, my tongue's the only muscle on my body
And these are the words you wish you wrote down
In us
This is intolerable
We were contenders, now throwing the fight
We were contenders, now throwing the fight
Oh, we're so controversial
And from speedin' up my breathing
I just wanna believe
And it's all from watching TV
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
Honest with the one that you love
Wouldn't stop if I could
The kind of song that ignites the airwaves
And keeping quiet is hard
Handsome and smart
Oh, so let it go
This is the break in the bend
I just wanna believe
I am the cause to all your problems
Oh, it hurts to always have to be
Holding on to your grudge
We're concentrating on falling apart
I just wanna believe
We were contenders, now throwing the fights
I just wanna believe
Coordinate brain and mouth
We admit to the truth
This is the reason you're alone
I wish I knew
With whoever they're there with
The kind of song that makes people glad to be where they are
In us
We're concentrating on falling apart
I just wanna believe
We were contenders, now throwing the fight
This is the price you pay for loss of control
I think in decimals and dollars
You're holding on to your grudge
At least pretend you didn't wanna get caught
Then ask me what it's like
Oh, it hurts to be this good
This is the grace only we can bestow
This is the way you wish your voice sounds
Every line is about who I don't wanna write about anymore
I just needed you to know
I just wanna believe
This is the rise and the fall
I just wanna believe
This is war
I just wanna believe
To have myself so figured out
'Cause you can't keep a secret if it never was a secret to start
I just wanna believe
Shelter from cold
That works harder than my heart
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
We are never alone
This is the closest of calls
We're concentrating on falling apart
We're concentrating on falling apart
I just wanna believe
I hope this song starts a craze
We were contenders, now throwing the fight
We are the best at what we do
Hope you come down with something they can't diagnose
