Failing With The Best Intentions

So what did you do?

It was a little bit less than you should have done

When the cards were laid on the table

And how did you love?

With a little bit less heart that you should have had

But we all do the best that we're able

(Chorus)

I haven't got a clue (he hasn't got a clue)

Which is the right direction

So I'll leave it up to you (he'll leave it up to you)

Failing with the best intentions

So what did you see?

It was a little bit less than you should have been

And what did you say?

It was a little bit less than you should have said

But the right words are so hard to come by

Chorus

I'm falling down (falling down)

But I'm all right (I'm all right)

These simple things (simple things)

Complicate my life... (Ooooooh)

So how did you live?

With a little bit less life than you should have had

But your own rules are so hard to follow

And what do you know?

Just a little bit less than you could have known

But the truth is so hard to swallow

Chorus

I'm falling down (falling down)

But I'm all right (I'm all right)

These simple things (simple things)

Complicate my life... (Ooooooh)
