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
But you're not alone in being blind
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)
