Good Intentions
lyrics and music by John Lester


You couldn’t hear me
Because I wouldn’t lie
And you only ask me questions
After making up your mind
And though I’ve given
You just get my mistakes
And you turned away my offers
To say that all I do is take

But one thing you can’t do
Is say my good intentions weren’t true
One thing you just can’t do
Is say my good intentions weren’t true

It’s not that I didn’t notice
Or didn’t mind
That our lives just went through changes
Without it being your fault or mine
But what you hold to
That isn’t who I am
So you just diminish and deny me
Because I won’t fit into your plan

But one thing you can’t do
Is say my good intentions weren’t true
One thing you just can’t do
Is say my good intentions weren’t true

I always thought that you could walk on water
Now all your anger comes in waves
But you’re the one who’ll have to drown your sorrows
For all that’s left for me’s to turn away

So now it’s over
What’s done is done
I won’t be picking up the pieces
Because I’m tired of being the only one
Who’d turn to truths that you’d erase
Perhaps when I’m not there to answer
Then yourself you’ll finally face

But one thing you can’t do
Is say my good intentions weren’t true
One thing you just can’t do
Is say my good intentions weren’t true
