Good Intentions
Rini Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You heard somebody calling out your name
It must be love again
But you're done playing games
Afraid to try she said it'll never be the same
Can't blame her for how she feels
But I know things can change

Would you give me your time
Give me a place inside your mind
I know you're looking for something
And there's only one thing you desire
Ain't something money can buy
It's not the fortune or the fame
All those things don't mean nothing to you
You want something real, so

You gave it everything for love
It wasn't what you expected
The first time let you down
These walls are way too high to climb
May take a lifetime to break it
But I don't mind
Got nothing but good intentions
Good intentions for you, girl
Got nothing but good intentions

You hear the voices whisper in your ear
They're telling you something else
But you can't trust yourself
Too many doubts, too many fears get in the way
Only wanted to show you
Let me show you something new

If you give it a chance
We'll plant a seed
And watch it grow
I'll take my time, get to know you
I wanna see you inside out
Tell me everything
All your hopes and all your dreams
Let me hear your story I'll be right here
Til the end of time

You gave it everything for love
It wasn't what you expected
The first time let you down
These walls are way too high to climb
May take a lifetime to break it
But I don't mind
Got nothing but good intentions
Good intentions for you girl
Got nothing but good intentions

You know
I got
Nothing but good intentions
You know
I got
You know
I got
Nothing but good intentions




You know
I got nothing but good intentions
