[Verse 1]

Hey

Show me one man that's never made mistakes

Oh

And I'll pay all of my time and every dime I've made

But today


[Hook]

The best of intentions, I lay at your feet

I need you to see past the worst part of me


[Pre-Chorus]

Tired of taking my aim

When I keep on missing

There's gotta be a way

Gotta be a better way


[Chorus]

When every little word I say

Keeps getting twisted

Or coming out wrong

So baby, hold on

I'm trying to hit the mark

But I'm shooting with broken arrows

It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows


[Verse 2]

No

I may not be a saint, but I've got a heart of gold

Yeah

And like a telephone

Connection ain't clear

But I hope you hear my soul

You gotta know


[Hook]

The best of intentions, I lay at your feet

I need you to see past the worst part of me


[Pre-Chorus]

Tired of taking my aim

When I keep on missing

There's gotta be a way

Gotta be a better way


[Chorus]

And every little word I say

Keeps getting twisted

Coming out wrong

So baby, hold on

I'm trying to hit the mark

But I'm shooting with broken arrows

It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows


[Verse 3]

I'm drawing it back now

And the target is you

And I don't know what else I can do, whoa


[Pre-Chorus]

Tired of taking my aim

When I keep on missing

There's gotta be a way

Gotta be a better way


[Chorus]

Seems like every little word I say

Keeps getting twisted

Or coming out wrong

So baby, hold on

I'm trying to hit the mark

But I'm shooting with broken arrows

It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows
