The lyrics...
[Verse 1]
Wake up, blood-shot eye
Struggle to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
It feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that, after that
Try to get you back
[Pre-Chorus]
I still don't have a reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder if I ever gave a fuck about you
[Chorus]
Give me somethin' to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
Yeah, so this is goodbye
[Verse 2]
God damn my spinnin' head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I've left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you're goin' through
I get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
I still don't have a reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder if I ever gave a fuck about you
[Chorus 2]
Give me somethin' to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference
It even makes a difference to try, yeah
And you told me how you're feelin'
But I don't believe it's true anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
Oh no, so this is goodbye
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I've been here before
One day, I'll wake up and it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don't have a meaning
[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause I still don't have a reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder if I ever gave a fuck about you and I
And so this is goodbye
[Chorus 2]
Give me somethin' to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference
It even makes a difference to try, yeah
And you don't how you're feelin'
But I don't believe it's true anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
Oh no, so this is goodbye
[Outro]
(Oh no) So this is goodbye
(Oh no) Yeah, so this is goodbye
(Oh no) Yeah, so this is goodbye

“Makes Me Wonder” was originally written as a love song that levine wrote about “failed relationships,” which, he says, “went awfully wrong.”
The song’s lyrics have two different meanings. It contains political allusions under the guise of a love song, because Levin does not want to preach morality...
