The Best of Intentions
Unfulfilled Promises and Endless Love: The Best of Intentions by Amarillo Cowboys
Lyrics
I had big plans for our future
I had ambitious plans for our future.
Said I'd give you the whole world somehow
Expressed a commitment to provide everything for you.
I tried makin' good on that promise
Attempted to fulfill the promise I made.
Thought I'd be so much further by now
Expected greater progress in achieving those plans by now.
Never could build you a castle
Failed to create a grand gesture for you.
Even though you're the queen of my heart
Acknowledges the partner's significance.
But I've had the best of intentions from the start
Emphasizes good intentions from the beginning.
Now some people think I'm a loser
Facing judgment for perceived shortcomings.
'Cause I seldom get things right
Admits frequent mistakes but finds validation in the relationship.
But you make me feel like a winner
Feels like a winner when embraced tightly.
When you wrap me in your arms so tight
The partner's love makes up for personal shortcomings.
Please tell me you will remember
Asks for reassurance despite past mistakes.
No matter how much I do wrong
Requests acknowledgment of good intentions despite errors.
That I had the best of intentions all along
Reiterates positive intentions throughout.
I gave you a ring
Gave a symbolic commitment.
And I promised you things
Expressed promises for the future.
I always thought we'd do
Envisioned shared experiences.
But my best-laid plans
Plans didn't materialize as expected.
Slipped right through my hands
Plans slipped away despite genuine love.
To show my love for you
Struggled to demonstrate love in tangible ways.
And if you could read my heart
Wishes for partner to understand true feelings.
Then you'd know without exception
Emphasizes sincerity and genuineness.
It was all with the best of intentions
All actions stemmed from good intentions.
I gave you a ring
Repeats symbolic commitment.
And I promised you things
Reiterates promises for the future.
I always thought we'd do
Envisions shared experiences, again.
But my best-laid plans
Repeats the theme of plans slipping away.
Slipped right through my hands
Continued struggles to demonstrate love tangibly.
To show my love for you
Restates difficulty in expressing love.
And if you could read my heart
Desires partner to understand true feelings, again.
Then you'd know without exception
Reiterates sincerity and genuineness.
It was all with the best of intentions
Confirms all actions were driven by good intentions.
So here I am asking forgiveness
Seeks forgiveness for past mistakes.
And praying that you'll understand
Hopes for understanding and reconciliation.
Don't think I take you for granted
Acknowledges partner's value and expresses gratitude.
Girl, I know just how lucky I am
Recognizes the partner's positive impact on life.
Though you deserve so much better
Acknowledges partner's worth despite personal flaws.
You won't find devotion more true
Asserts unparalleled devotion to the partner.
'Cause I've had the best of intentions
Reiterates the presence of good intentions.
Girl, I've had the best of intentions
Confirms genuine and positive intentions.
Yes, I've had the best of intentions loving you
Reiterates the sincerity of intentions in loving the partner.
