[Verse 1]
I tried like hell to give it up this time
Didn't miss a ball game, stopped on a dime
It should've been a while since I had a drink
But the father of the year ain't what you think
On the second shelf like my old man
You'll find a half of fifth behind a Folgers can
There's some nights I pour it down the drain
For them other ones I can't say the same
[Chorus]
'Cause it's like you're holding back the wind while
You're sailing through the storm
Like staying on eight seconds when
Your glove's a littlŠµ too worn
Yeah it's knowin' what you do
Ain't really who you are
It's praying that you'll changŠµ
And hoping that you can
These are the good intentions
Of a broken man
[Verse 2]
Few numbers in my phone, wish I didn't have
When lonely comes knocking at two AM
I tried to not give in but I know all too well
I'm gonna wake up in the morning kinda hating myself
[Chorus]
'Cause it's like you're holding back the wind while
You're sailing through the storm
Like staying on eight seconds when
Your glove's a little too warm
Yeah it's not what you do
Ain't really who you are
It's praying that you'll change
And hoping that you can
These are the good intentions
Of a broken man
Of a broken man
[Bridge]
It's a damn good thing how to know how to quit
'Cause it just might be the thing that gets me out of this
[Chorus]
'Cause it's like you're holding back the wind while
You're sailing through the storm
Like staying on eight seconds when
Your glove's a little warm
It's not what you do
Ain't really who you are
It's praying that you'll change
And hoping that you can
These are the good intentions
These are the good intentions
Of a broken man
Of a broken man
