Good Intentions
The Chainsmokers & BullySongs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A confession of me
I've been led astray
Tried so hard to change
But I'm set on my ways
My words mean nothing again
I promised I'd be good
When they come, there's nothing I can do
I promised I'd be good
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions
So when I fall, I will fall to you
I promised I'd be good
I promised I'd be good
I just couldn't resist
It was the moment of bliss
I know it's hard to forgive
It's too late for changes
All this time I've wasted
Words mean nothing, nothing again
I promised I'd be good
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions
So when I fall, I will fall to you
I promised I'd be good
I promised I'd be good
But I can't help myself from these temptations
When they come, there's nothing I can do
I promised I'd be good
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions
So when I fall, I will fall to you
I promised I'd be good
But I can't help myself from these temptations
When they come, there's nothing I can do
I promised I'd be good
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions
So when I fall, I will fall to you
The lyrics to The Chainsmokers feat. BullySongs's song Good Intentions describe the struggle of someone who wants to do the right thing but can’t resist temptation. The singer begins by confessing that they have been led astray and tried to change but find themselves set in their ways. They lament that their words mean nothing and have been wasted over time.
The second verse talks about falling into temptation and how it’s hard to resist. They promised to be good, but when temptation comes, they just can’t help themselves. The singer acknowledges that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, but when they fall, they will fall to someone whom they trust. The chorus repeats the promises made to be good while acknowledging the struggle to keep them.
Overall, the song captures the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of promising to do better but ultimately giving in to temptation. It addresses the common theme of good intentions not always leading to the desired outcome.
Line by Line Meaning
I got something to say
I need to confess something
A confession of me
It's something about me that I need to get off my chest
I've been led astray
I've been doing things I shouldn't have been doing
Tried so hard to change
I've attempted to stop my behavior
But I'm set on my ways
But it seems like I can't help myself
My words mean nothing again
I keep making promises but not following through with them
I promised I'd be good
I've made a promise to change
But I can't help myself from these temptations
But I keep giving in to my desires
When they come, there's nothing I can do
I feel powerless to resist
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions
Making promises doesn't necessarily equate to follow-through
So when I fall, I will fall to you
If I do fail, I hope that you will be there for me
I just couldn't resist
I lacked the willpower to say no
It was the moment of bliss
At the time it seemed worth it, even if it wasn't
I know it's hard to forgive
I understand if you can't forgive me
It's too late for changes
I feel stuck in my ways
All this time I've wasted
I regret not using my time more wisely
