Seemed Like a Good Idea

I've been a fool, I have been cruel
You put your faith in me
Ask myself why, no alibi
Now that you're facin' me

Did things my way, I've had my say
Sometimes I crossed that line
But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time

I know I was wrong, I'm holdin' on
Learning is hard to do
It's not too late, if you will wait
I'll make it up to you

If you refuse, then I will lose
I let our life unwind
But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time

Yeah, yeah
Seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time

Seemed like the ring thing
'Til I watched you go
Seemed like the right thing
That I lost control

Out in the darkness I saw a light
And now I know

A bitter taste has taken the place
Of kisses that were so sweet
Open my eyes, I realize
My lesson is complete

If it ain't broke
Don't try to fix it
Sometimes
I crossed that line

But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Yeah, yeah, it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time

Did things my way
I've had my say
Sometimes
I crossed that line

But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Yeah, yeah, seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time

Seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Oh, seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time

Seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Baby, seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time

Seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
