Good Intentions
Regret
Things left unsaid
Promises never kept
Lying awake on what feels like a death bed
Draining me, deceiving me, misleading me
Hanging on by a thread
I don’t want to hear about your good intentions
All I want to see is a man of action
I don’t want to hear about your good intentions
You won’t live up to the expectation
I just need you to be good to me, good to me,
Good to me, good to me (x2)
Have it your way
Say what I want to hear
White lies, you never knew how to compromise
Swear you’ll change, light fires you can’t tame
You promise the moon and never follow through
Do words mean anything to you
I don’t want to hear about your good intentions
All I want to see is a man of action
I don’t want to hear about your good intentions
You won’t live up to the expectation
I just need you to be good to me, good to me,
Good to me, good to me (x4)
Will it always be this way, he said
You will never change
Does it have to be this way, he said
You won’t take the blame
I don’t want to hear about your good intentions
All I want to see is a man of action
I don’t want to hear about your good intentions
You won’t live up to the expectation

Never Enough

Never Enough
I go
Till the wheels fall off
You know
I'll beat my head against the wall
I try
To carry on
You sigh
And laugh as I struggle to realize
It’s never good enough
No matter how much (x2)
I go
Til the well runs dry
You know
I will stand with my head held high
I try
To make believe
You sigh
And laugh at my castle in the sky
It’s never good enough
No matter how much (x2)
I give, I give, I give
But I fall short
I take, I take, I take
But I want more
Too much too soon too little too late
If less is more then why are we keeping score
It’s never good enough
No matter how much (x4)

Silent
Hush, my darling
Pretend you know different
Play hide and seek
With the secrets to keep
I know and I do nothing about it
You know and you do nothing about it
We all know
And choose to be silent
Be idle, be docile
It’s easier on the eyes
Blissful compliance
Ride the wave of ignorance
I know and I do nothing about it
You know and you do nothing about it
We all know
And choose to be silent
Whichever way the wind blows
You go
Whichever way the river flows
I follow
So hollow
We follow
I know and I do nothing about it
You know and you do nothing about it
We all know
And choose to be silent (x2)

Nothing Left

Nothing Left
Empty room
Nowhere to hide
The naked truth, a great divide
Chasing the ghost of hopes
Stuck in my mind
Why do I long to be here
There is nothing,
Nothing left for me here
There is nothing
Not a thing, left
Where I ended you began
Can’t recall why I took the fall
Blurred lines, smothered in your confines
Trying to find a way to forgive and walk away
Why do I long to stay near
There is nothing,
Nothing left for me here
There is nothing
Not a thing, left (x2)
And it feels so right
To leave this all behind
It’s got to be the right thing to do
For me and you
There is nothing,
Nothing left for me here
There is nothing
Not a thing, left (x2)
There is nothing
Nothing left

Broken Record
Fell for you, like no other
In the depth of your eyes
So much to uncover
Lost track of who we were
Found solace in one another
Never thought a love like this could fade
We hit the same wall
Over and over
Comparing shortfalls
Skipping over and over each other
We sound like a
We sound like a
Broken, broken, broken record (x2)
Work of art, falling apart
Missed a beat now we’re losing sleep
Why do we keep holding on
When our heart to heart is a whiny love song
Gloomy stares, driven to despair, too much to bare
Falling out
Over and over
No room for doubt
Skipping over and over each other
We sound like a
We sound like a
Broken, broken, broken record (x4)
You were not the one I thought you were
Not the one I thought you were
Not the one, not the one (x4)
We sound like a
We sound like a
Broken, broken, broken record (x4)
