Williams, Robbie - Best Intentions Lyrics






Every now and then I want to feel the escape
When the depression sets in and my spirit breaks
And I go out huntin' demons and they make me beg
Got me pissin' in the wind down my own damn leg

If God wrote a book 'bout everything that he's done
I'd go searching for my name, now wouldn't everyone?
And you can tell me point blank that I'm a narcissist
I'm just needing confirmation that I exist

Please don't read my mind
I'm so scared of what you'll find
I haven't left it all behind

So much hate 'cause of all the hurt
No idea what I'm really worth
I'm holding out for peace and air time

You have to understand that my intentions are good
And everything I do, I do for love
I've got two little souls and I love 'em, man
That I'm trying to lead to the promised land

We take big old trips down to the countryside
Got a big old house where we reside
And there's a big old boy with a big old gun
Stays up all night in case the weirdos come

I had a job but I resigned
Then I had a change of mind
I will again if I'm inclined

Another moan from a millionaire
I don't know why I'm telling you 'cause you don't care
I'm holding out for peace and air time

I'm a little bit older but not wiser still
I was smoking marijuana taking sleeping pills
But I get up in the morning, take the kids to school
And my other indiscretions are so minuscule

And I really pray to God it stays that way
'Cause deep inside I think I'm still dirty
When you take your chances and you ride your luck
All you're really saying is "I could fuck this up"

You have to understand that my intentions are good
And everything I do, I do for love
I've made a ton of mistakes, it's either fight or flight
But every now and then I kinda get it right

(He kinda gets it right)

I kinda get it right

(He kinda gets it right)

  1. N.... D....

    I have been suffering from severe depression and anxiety for years, and my life has simply collapsed. I was smoking marijuana and I am taking sleeping pills. I always have best intetions but simply can't influece on some things. This song is so hard but so good. This is so powerful. I've never cried when I listen any song but this song make me cry a lot.

    Every now and then I wanna feel the escape
    When the depression sets in and my spirit breaks
    And I go out hunting demons and they make me beg
    Got me pissing in the wind, down my own damn leg
    If God wrote a book 'bout everything that he's done
    I'd go searching for my name, now wouldn't every one?
    And you can tell me point-blank that I'm a narcissist
    I'm just needing confirmation that I exist
    Please don't read my mind
    I'm so scared of what you'll find
    I haven't left it all behind
    So much hate 'cause of all the hurt
    No idea what I'm really worth
    I'm holding out for peace and air time
    You have to understand that my intentions are good
    And everything I do, I do for love
    I got two little souls and I love them, man
    That I'm trying to lead to the promised land
    We take ego trips out to the country side
    Got a big old house where we reside
    And there's a big old boy with a big old gun
    Stays up all night in case the weirdos come
    I had a job but I resigned
    Then I had a change of mind
    I will again if I'm inclined
    Another moan from a millionaire
    I don't know why I'm telling you 'cause you don't care
    I'm holding out for peace and air time
    I'm a little bit older but not wiser still
    I was smoking marijuana, taking sleeping pills
    But I get up in the morning, take the kids to school
    And my other indiscretions are so minuscule
    And I really pray to God it stays that way
    'Cause deep inside I think I'm still hurting
    When you take your chances and you ride your luck
    All you're really saying is 'I could fuck this up'
    You have to understand that my intentions are good
    And everything I do, I do for love
    I made a ton of mistakes, it's either fight or flight
    But every now and then
    I kinda get it right (He kinda gets it right)
    I kinda get it right (He kinda gets it right)
