Bad Kingdom Lyrics by Moderat

II

2013

[Verse 1]
Here it ends
No one’s gonna shed a tear
No need to shout
Just to stand in silence

[Verse 2]
(A) well spent time
In the early morning’s haze
You sit and wait
Watching full glasses through blank eyes

[Chorus]
This is not
What you wanted
Not
What you had in mind
(Oh)
This is not
What you wanted (oh)
Not
What you had in mind

[Verse 3]
Vacuous winter stare
Worn out version of yourself
Too tough to fall
But not strong enough to turn
But not strong enough to turn
But not strong enough to turn

[Chorus]
This is not
What you wanted
(Oh)
Not
What you had in mind (oh, oh, oh)
(Oh)
This is not
What you wanted
(Oh)
Not
What you had in mind

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
(Ah)
This is not
What you wanted
(Ah)
Not
What you had in mind (oh, oh, oh)
(Ah)
This is not
What you wanted
(Ah)
Not
What you had in mind

[Outro]
(Ah)
(Oh)
(Ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Oh)
(Ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Oh)
(Ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
