I tried to leave here 'cause it don't feel the same
I only want to think of yesterday
I tried to forget it but it got in my way
I gotta focus on the better days
Oh, the better days

But desire is a funny thing
It is the strangest thing
That clings to me all the time
Desire is a hazy thing
A downright crazy thing
That leaves me wanting more

It's only a love song
It's only a love song

Sometimes it's hard to wait for moments to last
Sometimes it's easier to walk away
Sometimes I forget to make the most of the past
Sometimes you have to turn the other way
Or just any way

Oh, desire is a holy thing
It is the only thing
That keeps the world on your side
Desire is a fateful thing
A damn ungrateful thing
That makes me want for more

And I was a lonely guy
Decidedly unnoted
Oh I, I was some other guy
Waiting for you
All over again

Desire is a hazy thing
A downright crazy thing
That leaves you wanting more

It's only a love song
It's only a love song
But it ain't half as good as you, oh
'Cause only a love song is
Is only a love song
It's only a love song
Not you
