Best Of Intentions Lyrics - Singles - Animal Planet

I had the best of intentions 

When I got out of bed today 

I set out to make things right 

Make some of the pain go away 

World peace seemed so out of reach 

So I touched the people I knew 

May not have stopped any wars 

But I accomplished a thing or two 

I fulfilled some promises 

And I gave alms to the poor 

I defended a helpless man 

Just to even the score 

Sometimes the best of intentions 

Never gets anything done 

I fall down on my face 

Start again from square one 

Even when things don't add up 

And I can do nothing more 

I think about the days I've won 

When I evened the score 

I fulfilled some promises 

And I gave alms to the poor 

I defended a helpless man 

just to even the score 

I made amends with an old lover 

We tipped the wineglass once more 

Better friends than enemies 

Just to even the score 

I only wanted not to lose anymore 

And live to fight one day more 

I had the best of intentions 

But I think I mighta hurt someone 

I'll have to move a mountain 

To undo the damage I've done 

I'll fulfill some promises 

I'll give alms to the poor 

I'll defend a helpless man 

Just to even the score 

I'll make amends with an old lover 

We'll tip the wineglass once more 

Better friends than enemies 

Just to even the score 

I'll spread the wealth from a to z 

Rob the rich and give to the poor 

If only things could be that way 

I'd even the score
