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 of The Chainsmokers' Good Intentions, featuring BullySongs, depicts a confession of someone who has been led astray despite trying hard to change their ways. The person acknowledges that their words mean nothing, indicating their credibility has been undermined by their actions. Despite making promises to be good, the individual finds it hard to resist temptation and ultimately succumbs to it. The song speaks of how the path to goodness is often overshadowed by one's inclination towards selfish desires and how every time we give in, we fall into a wicked trap. The last lines indicate that someone is hoping to fall to someone who is willing to forgive them, despite their shortcomings.
Line by Line Meaning
I got something to say
I need to confess something
A confession of me
I need to be truthful about something inside of me
I've been led astray
I've gone down the wrong path
Tried so hard to change
I've attempted to better myself
But I'm set on my ways
I keep reverting back to my old habits
My words mean nothing again
My promises and apologies are empty
I promised I'd be good
I've made vows to improve
But I can't help myself from these temptations
I struggle to resist the things that bring me down
When they come, there's nothing I can do
I lose control when faced with my vices
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions
Trying to do the right thing can lead to negative results
So when I fall, I will fall to you
I'll turn to the person I'm confessing to for support when I mess up
I just couldn't resist
I couldn't fight the urge
It was the moment of bliss
At the time, it felt like the right thing to do
I know it's hard to forgive
I understand if you can't forgive me for my actions
It's too late for changes
I feel like I've gone too far to change now
All this time I've wasted
I regret the time I've wasted not improving myself
