Good Intentions |
See we ain’t any different but we just stay the same |
They never listen when we tell 'em, tell 'em |
All they understand is venom, venom |
People only use you when you let 'em, let 'em |
Well if that’s the case then I’m the one to blame |
Coz there’s a man over board |
And the tides gonna drag him down |
If there’s a man in the clouds |
Tell me where the hell is he now |
Why is the silence so loud? |
Have I thrown it all the way? |
Lemme know, Lemme know |
Tell me is that what happens just for having a good intention, tension oh oh |
Look what happened to my good intention, tension oh oh |
Why won’t anybody answer my question |
Why is the silence so loud? |
I think I’ve thrown it all the way |
I don’t know, I don’t know |
But lemme know |
Hear me out before you label me the bad one |
I’m walking through the desert but I’m drowning inside |
No river runs deeper than the tear from my eye |
You only make 'em get even bitter, bitter |
I wish I wasn’t such a giver, giver |
I apoligise to my liver, liver |
Coz if that’s the case then your the one to blame |
Coz there’s a man over board |
And the tides gonna drag him down |
If there’s a man in the clouds |
Then tell me where the hell is he now |
Why is the silence so loud? |
Have I thrown it all the way? |
Lemme know, Lemme know |
Tell me is that what happens just for having a good intention, oh |
Look what happened to my good intention, oh |
Why won’t anybody answer my question |
Why is the silence so loud |
I think I’ve thrown it all the way |
I don’t know, I don’t know |
But lemme know |
Hear me out before you label me the bad one |
Am I wrong to think the worlds got it in for me |
And am I right to say I’m longing for some sympathy |
See I feel a sound, but I can’t hear it |
That’s my heart strings getting played like a symphony |
Yo, you know you turned me insane |
Why you staring at window when I’m the one with the pain |
You know you set me off the rails |
And you’ll be to blame |
If you’re ever here |
I dropped in front of the train with both |
Coz there’s a man over board |
And the tides gonna drag him down |
If there’s a man in the clouds |
Well tell me where the hell is he now |
Why is the silence so loud? |
Have I thrown it all the way? |
Lemme know, Lemme know |
Tell me is that what happens just for having a good intention, oh |
Look what happened to my good intention, oh |
Why won’t anybody answer my question |
Why is the silence so loud |
I think I’ve thrown it all the way |
I don’t know, I don’t know |
But lemme know |
Hear me out before you label me the bad one |
